The keyBind setting will use whichever key is bound to the specified action in the in-game keyboard configuration menu.
The dikKey setting can be used to specify a key directly, without needing to be bound to an action in-game.

If you need help, let me know which key you'd like to use, and I can give an example setup.

It will only put on the last helmet that was taken off using the hotkey.

It will do the animation if you have them enabled.

Love seeing the idea expanded on.

Here's a stripped down example with all the holstering logic removed and a 1.0 second delay:

function on_game_start()
RegisterScriptCallback('on_key_press',on_key_press)
RegisterScriptCallback('on_key_release',on_key_release)
end

function delayedFunction(parameters)
--Do stuff here
end

function on_key_press(key)
local bind = dik_to_bind(key)
if bind == key_bindings.kCUSTOM24 then
CreateTimeEvent("UniqueEventID","UniqueActionID",1.0,delayedFunction,"optionalParameters")
end
end

function on_key_release(key)
local bind = dik_to_bind(key)
if bind == key_bindings.kCUSTOM24 then
RemoveTimeEvent("UniqueEventID","UniqueActionID")
end
end

Apologies for the lack of comments in the file.

Check out axr_main.script, _g.script, and lua_help.script for info on the callbacks, time events, and key_bindings respectively.

lua_help.script also has a list of available game functions

For the last bit:
--If the pressed key's bound ID is between 22 and 27(bindings for weapon slots 1-6)
elseif bind<28 and bind>21 and gameActive() then
--Subtract 21 to translate keybind ID into equip slot number(1-6)
prevSlot = bind-21
end

It came from more of a want than a need to be fair. It can cut down on the finger gymnastics if you want to holster or un-holster a weapon, especially if you're using the movement keys at the same time.

Guilty as charged.

That should be possible. The general idea was to use CreateTimeEvent on key down to call the relevant function after a delay, and cancel the event if the key is released early.
