I posted in the newb questions thread about this but haven’t seen a response, hopefully it’s okay to post a new thread about this.

Anyways, I very recently discovered this function and I gotta say it’s wonderful and feels like a total game changer despite being fairly insignificant in the long run, besides of course eliminating a _lot_ of key-strokes. So yeah, amazing feature.

Problem: I reinstalled my game (latest experimental) and suddenly this feature is gone and I have no idea how to to re-enable it. I’ve looked through the settings and the keybindings screens a couple times each. Can’t find anything.

I really want this back. Please help.

Yeah, there were some changes “recently” that bound this function to the [`t`] key.  
You can rebind it to tab if you wish… Open your inventory, press the [`?`] key (yes, actually a question mark) and remap the `Switch category selection mode` locally to [`TAB`].

I remember there was a collision with something else that also uses the tab key when I rebound it a few weeks ago, but I don’t quite remember in which case it happened and I don’t seem to find it now.
