Simple mod that separates the "melee" and "grenade throw" hotkeys, and lets you assign whatever key you want to for them (including mouse keys). Not the most user-friendly mod, as it doesn't have any in-game settings and the hotkey assignment is by hex code in a settings file, but I've used it for a hundred hours in a FROST playthrough and never had any issues with it. Testing it now with STEP.

There are other mods that do the same thing in different ways, I picked this one because it lets me use any key I want and doesn't touch anything else (no balance changes, no quests, no new grenades, nothing). If there is a better option, or something in STEP already addresses this, my apologies and please let me know.

I don't really consider most hotkey oriented mods to be in scope for STEP, as they are mostly personal preference or to address specific issues (like different keyboard localizations), but I absolutely believe the melee+grenade key is a failed design decision made to accommodate console players. It only takes a dozen accidental grenade tosses- or accidental bayonet thrusts- to frustrate anyone.

Configurable Hotkeys already allows the ability to assign separate hotkeys for Melee and Grenades in the MCM menu under "Utility."

That doesn't surprise me, but I didn't know it. Haven't gone through all the MCM settings yet, and that mod is new to me. Thanks!

There is no need to mark this mod as dropped, since it never was in the guide.

Ah, misunderstood what the "Dropped" identifier was meant to indicate.
