Quick Equipping of items

[bremmon]

Is there a way to quickly equip things? For example, I want to harvest but then all of a sudden I am attacked. Is there a quick way to equip my dagger or do I still have to open my item menu then look for the dagger then equip it?

It would be nice if you could assign items to hot keys to equip quickly on demand. Maybe there is already something that exists for that. Please let me know.
