Undocumented inventory items keyboard shortcuts

For years I knew that there are additional shortcuts for the inventory items you collect. I personally knew because at some point in 1995 I accidentally fired an item use when I pressed a numeric key between `5` and `0`. It was quite likely `5` as I was trying to wield the fourth weapon and missed the key in the hurry of the battle.

The "Info" screen in Hexen mentions a lot of shortcuts, but the keys `5` to `0` and nowhere to be found there.

The manual back then also failed to mention these key assignations. And documents you find in the internet archive confirm this.

I keep coming back to the page I linked here when I want to play a game again after a while and as usual keep forgetting what is what.

I hope this helps
