About this mod
9 hotkeys is too less for a game with custom spell making. With this in mind a cyclical hotkeys implements 81 hotkeys using the original 9 such that pressing any one up to nine times will cycle through all spells removing the need to open the inventory and equip manually

not relying on MWSE due to OpenMW lua scripting divergence
There are 2 modes
Note that vanilla hotkeys can no longer be mapped to 1-9
if you wish to use vanilla hotkeys along with this mod remap them anywhere else like numpad to use 81+9 hotkeys
