Actually, this is already supported, has been since alpha. Although, it's Ctrl+Shift+[Number] here. See the "Control Groups" section of the controls.txt file for why.
That's weird. I'm not sure why it would have given me trouble, then.
I'll try it out and see if I run into trouble next time. Thank-you.
Wait until you see the new stuff in 1.008F, if you haven't yet.
It sounds like it'll be pretty interesting!
