Compatibility

This mod is an SKSE plugin, so it's be compatible with everything.
It's build with CommonLib-NG - credits to CharmedBaryon - powerofthree and others for this.
Confirmed to be working on game versions:
1.6.1170 - Myself and Quantumyilmaz
1.6.640  - Tarun 
1.5.97 - Sizif

VR - Not working even when I removed the PC functionality and left only for NPC it wasn't working.
Thanks JJFXVR for checking it.

User Or Take - Compatible - 1.3.0+ version

Any Combat mod - Compatible
Any Weapon Re-positioner - Compatible
Any Animation replacer - Compatible
Any New Weapons mod - Compatible
... You got the point. Right?

Minor incompatibilities confirmed:
Unarmed Hotkey SKSE - weird behaviour may occur (If clicking unarmed when already unarmed)
Wheeler - weird behaviour may occur (Bows and Crossbows, anything else seems to be fine)
Extended Hotkey System - weird behaviour may occur (Invisible shield or similar)

Sad thing is the bugs are present on listed mods without my mod, (e.g. Invisible shield with extended hotkeys)
or occur because of the way how this mods are calling equip/unequip functions.
(E.g. Wheeler is spamming a lot of equip and unequip calls so my mod is going crazy).
I will do my best to make thing compatible, but it may require other mods to update.
