Cross hotbar / WXHB button change request

[Limonia]

Hello!

I play on PC using a PS4 controller.

I would really like to have a feature where you can change between what buttons you press to use the expanded hold controls hotbar (EXHB) (the one you use with R2+L2 and vice versa) and the WXHB (where you have to double tap R2 or L2).

Using the PS4 controller, it's extremely exhausting for my fingers to constantly double tap R2 or L2 because those aren't buttons, but triggers. I've read that a lot of people have this problem and don't use the WXHB because of that. I know I can change the functions of R2/L2 to R1/L1 but only for everything and not only for the hotbars and having your fingers always positioned on R1/L1 feels very unnatural, I've tried that a lot.

The big advantage of the WXHB is that you can have it always displayed though. This way you can track your cooldowns and always know on which button they are. You cannot do this with the EXHB unfortunately.

Currently, I have it set up like this: Cross hotbar 1 as the standard hotbar, then WXHB always displayed as cross hotbar 2. Disabled the function to use it with double tap. EXHB is ALSO set to hotbar 2. So I SEE the WXHB but USE what I see with the EXHB.

The WXHB seems like it is made with using it for more rarely used actions in mind because it can get very tiring using it. I've tried it a lot and also can't get the timing right 100% of the time no matter the settings. The EXHB is much easier to use because you just have to press and hold buttons, so it's more fitting to put often used actions on it. But you cannot have it always displayed.
It would be great if it could be reversed, so either make it so that I can use the WXHB with R2+L2 and the EXHB with double tap or make the hotbar that is easier to use be always displayed and the one that's more exhausting to use not displayed.

Thank you and sorry for this mess of a text, I've always been bad at explaining things. ^^'

For those of us with the screen space, I'd like to have an option of being able to see EXHB and WXHB on the screen at at the same time along with the normal hot bar. I can't do with L2+R2 and R2+L2 being different if I can't see them. I gotta have them mirror each other personally for me to use them. Personal problem I know.

May I ask why you don't simply use hotbars to display the skills you want to track ?

Above my cross hotbar, I have three hotbars for that purpose, with empty slots invisible.

I had that before we got the WXHB and hated it because I can't have them the same shape as my cross hotbar. You can arrange like 8 normal hotbars to look similar to a cross hotbar but you can never get it exactly like it. I love that I can have two cross hotbars visible at once with (almost) all my actions. And I don't even have to think about which slot they are in.
Why can we have all normal hotbars visible at once but not multiple cross hotbars anyway?
