ALT Key Shows Extra Ability Bar

Description
This mod makes holding down the ALT key temporarily show the NEXT nine abilities on the bar, effectively doubling the number of abilities you can access quickly with a single keystroke.

Clicking these abilities while holding down ALT will activate them.

To make keyboard activation work, Alt+1 needs to be bound as an alternate binding to 'Use Ability 1', Alt+2 needs to be bound as an alternate binding to 'Use Ability 2', etc (see the preview illustration). The mod will attempt to make those bindings when you install it, but if you've already ever bound e.g. Alt+1 to something else, you will need to go to the Control Mapping section from the game menu and make the bindings yourself.

Thank you for these amazing mods that improve Qud UI, it really makes the game more enjoyable!

Could you please consider a mod for two optional QoLife improvements:
- Hostile enemies no longer do that "refuses to speak with you" when you click on them in combat.
- Meaningless popups like when Basking (Photosynth Skin) and "Whipping up a Meal" from campfire now appear only in the message log [not as annoying whole screen popups that require multiple button presses to close].

I stuck up 1.1 wherein the mod attempts to automatically bind the Alt+1, Alt+2 keys when run. Works only if the player has never rebound those keys -- if they've ever been bound to something else the bindings must be made manually per the preview illustration.

I come from mmos where you get unlimited spell slots, and I often use like 20 of them, so mods where you get extra slots are always expected by me.

Haha yes -- I guess it takes a convergence between thinking of something you'd want and finding the peculiar piece of modding jujitsu that makes it easy to do

i'm surprised a mod like this didn't come out sooner
