Save Hot Key

Description: This mod used to just allow users to press F11 to create a new save. As of November 4th I have utilised the SkyUI Mod Configuration Menu(MCM). The mod still has the same basic functionality, it just allowes Hot Key customization.
Latest version of SkyUI (with MCM. It MUST have MCM). Found here
Patches:
If you have requiem chose the version you want. Load it after Requiem.esp and SaveHotKeyMCM.esp
If you dont have requiem, just chose Immersive messages if you want and load after SaveHotKeyMCM.esp
Installation:
Install SKSE. Download it from the link given and extract all the files to your root Skyrim directory (where TESV.exe is located).
Install SkyUI(with the latest MCM build, found at the link provided). Once downloaded just extract the files to you Skyrim\Data folder.
Download the latest version of Save Hot Key via NMM, or manual install(extract the .esp and scripts folder to your Skyrim\Data folder.
Enable SkyUI.esp, and SaveHotKeyMCM.esp in NMM, or the Skyrim Launcher.
Customization:
Launch skyrim through the SKSE loader
Load your save
Open your menu and select Mod Config, select Save Hot Key
Click the Customize key, when prompted press your desired key.
Note: Even if you plan to use the default F11, it is still require to change the key.
Previous Versions: If you want to continue to use version 1.01, I will keep the download up.
/* 10/5/2015 Version 3.1 tested and released. Gets rid of OnUpdate events and adds conflict control when mapping the key.
11/4/2012 Version 3.0 has been tested and added. It utilises SkyUI's new Mod Config Menu feature, it makes for a less buggy version of 2.0, therefore version 2.0 is no longer supported. */
