Why can't I manage all these buttons

I am on ps4 and use the controller and a keyboard.. I use the keyboard for longer cds and other stuff, and the controller for main rotation stuff.. I find swapping on the controller a pain because it's so easy to cycle too fast.

You can hold down R1 and manually select which hotbar you want instead of fast cycling.

Also, are you using the extended cross hotbars? You should be able to fit all of a job's abilities if you use them, especially in 5.0.

Yeah I know - but I just couldn't get on with it.. the way I have it works great for me.

Have you considered investing in a gaming keyboard where you could assign a number of keystrokes to one button. Not sure if that is what you are looking for but it would mean instead of doing say Alt + 1, you would only have one button press.
