SkyUI grouping weapons, armor, and accessories

[meathead013]

my understanding is that SkyUI is supposed to allow me to change between entire sets of weapon/armor/accessories with the press of one hotkey

i tried following the instructions here but it hasnt been working
http://steamcommunity.com/app/72850/discussions/0/648812304830500302/

for example, i have assigned all the equipment related to my sword/shield setup in group 1 and my bow related setup in group 4. i can see all the proper items in the group when i click on either bottom box 1 or bottom box 4 of the Quick (Q) favorites menu

my understanding is that those group boxes 1-8 at the bottom of the Quick menu are connected to the keyboard hotkey numbers 1-8. i had previously set up just my sword in hotkey 1 and my bow in hotkey 4

now with the SkyUI groups set up i manually set all my worn equipment to my sword/shield setup (via the Iventory (I)) and try pressing hotkey 4 expecting my entire bow setup to be in place, but its not. only the bow changes and all the sword/shield equipment remains the same except for the shield bc you cant hold a bow and shield at the same time. same thing happens if i change equipment to a bow setup and press 1

so what am i missing?

are the SkyUI groups NOT associated with the normal hotkeys? if not, how do i assign ALL the equipment in a group box to a single key?

or do i perhaps have some conflict with a mod or something preventing it from working properly?

thanks

for anyone else having this problem, i believe i have discovered that no the hotkeys have nothing to do with the SkyUI groups. to activate a group you have to click on that group box at the bottom of the Favorites (Q) menu and press the R key. as far as i know so far, theres no way link that group to a hotkey. maybe someone else knows that

Fav Group hotkeys in Sky UI MCM have F1 to F4 as default and the other 4 are left unassigned for you to assign as you like.

 

For me, I set my light armor, bow, enchanted ring & necklace (Greater Bow Damage) on Group 1.

I then set my Group 1 Key in Sky UI MCM to L (Sky UI MCM Default Group 1 is normally F1).

 

Then I add my heavy armor, sword, shield, enchanted ring & necklace (Block and One Handed) on Group 2.

I then set my Group 2 Key in Sky UI MCM to H (Sky UI MCM Default Group 2 is normally F2).

 

While playing I run around and tap L or H keys and my groups change to what they are set as fine.

So I go distant and sneaky with L key (Light, Bow Group 1) and when I get pissed off I hit H key (Heavy, Sword Group 2) and run in for close and personal.

 

Aside from that I also have some single rings necklaces and potions on the normal quick 1 to 8 keys

Sky UI group keys are a bonus once you get your groups of gear sorted.
