During salvage - the option to "Open Cargo" for a wreck or container is displayed with a null shortcut -

eg. Open Cargo []

While I can find where to add shortcuts for other actions that have no shortcut defined - they are shown as (None) - there appears to be no entry available for the "Open Cargo".

There is "Open Cargo Hold of Active Ship" - but this isn't what I want.

Can anyone suggest how to map a shortcut key to "Open Cargo" of the currently selected wreck or container?

Easiest way to open wrecks for grabbing loot is press CTRL and double click on the wreck in the overview. You can open a whole load of wrecks very quickly then just press 'loot all' in them in sequence.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Thanks. That's a handy tip.

I'd still like a custom shortcut for Open Cargo, along with the existing combat shortcut keys (Align, Warp To, Orbit, Approach, Keep at Range). It seems when defining shortcuts - all of the other actions in the "Selected item" were catered for - and "Open Cargo" slipped through the cracks.

Shortcuts can be set in the esc-menu

You don't need to press ctrl to double click open a can. I have a 5 button mouse and have set one of the buttons as double click, very handy for a lot of situations (like navigating in a fight)

Except you can't set shortcut for "open cargo".
