Is there any way to make custom hotkeys to do specific things? I want to make a hotkey for making clean water and cooking meat if it is possible. Thanks folks!

You can set up macros for whatever you want using various macro programs. A macro is basically a recording of several button presses in succession which you can then play back. I recommend AutoHotKey - google it.
