NEK LITE Toolbar shortcuts - No Bind Profiles

  • This version is for players who do not want 300+ item binds or advanced keybind profile management.

  • Only the Menus, Tools and Items that NEK started with.

  • Still adds binds for your installed mod menus.


Instead of scanning entire item catalog, item binds are hand-selected to reduce bind bloat.

  • Limited Item binds: Surfaces, Trees, Retaining Walls, Barriers, Towers

It is safe to run both NEK versions at the same time—but I'm not sure why you would want to.


If you tried NE:Keybind's Bind Profiles before switching to NEK LITE and your controls now differ from the backup that was created when unlocking bind profiles, it will ask if you'd like to restore your original vanilla controls back to what they were before any bind profiles may have switched them.

Hopefully this reduces the risks of anyone accidentally losing any customs keybinds they may have had previously in Settings → Controls.


If you need help restoring your controls, have any suggestions, find any bugs, or want other keybinds, you're welcome to create a forum.

I will post a backup and restore guide on main NEK page in following days
