    Hold Sheathe/Draw Weapon [Z] Hotkey To Also Shortcut Summon Your Mount

    When you're mounted you can of course right click the buff or press the dismount ability when present (only present on mounts that have abilities), but you can also dismount by pressing your sheathe/draw hotkey. The default key is Z for PC and I think L3 for ps3/4 players, the keybind can be changed of course! (mine is).

    Now what I think would be pretty neat is if you held this key it would then use your favorite roulette (or all mounts if not set up).

    So as you held (not tapped) the key it would grow the channel bar and bring out a mount just as if you had pressed the mount roulette button.

    So a written list of the feature set of this hotkey:
    Tap Z: Dismount when mounted (true already)
    Tap Z: Draw weapon when no weapon is drawn (true already)
    Tap Z: Sheathe weapon when a weapon is drawn (true already)
    Hold Z: Initiates mounting as if the mount roulette button was pressed (new feature)


    The hold time doesn't need to be the full second, just long enough that it was clearly meant to be a hold. Although you can consider other interactions instead of hold like a double tap as an option too.

    I think this could be nice as it brings the hotkey full circle (it can draw and withdraw a weapon, it can mount and dismount a mount), and it also means that optionally a player could remove the mount buttons from their hotbars.

    If SE wanted to add optional super functionality to it, they might consider allowing combined keystroke to change minions (say default is ctrl + z). Ctrl + tap z for a new minion in the roulette and ctrl + hold z to dismiss your minion. Not the main point of the thread though, just thought of it as an aside just "because" lol.

    Thanks for reading !
