So there was something I was trying to do by meshing together Sixth's Config Setup, Himeworks's Command Manager and Yanfly Battle Engine: hotkeying items by pressing a number on the keyboard.

It does work - using a hotkeyed item works, even with selection.

Where it stops working is when you cancel out of giving anybody an item, and with different variations of errors to boot:

  • The error that happens when you cancel out while hovering over Attack or Guard symbols (actor window disappears but you can still like, access the buttons. Guard softlocks the game.):

  • The errors that happen when you cancel while hovering over the Item symbol (the item window shows up but it's completely blank even if you do have items):

  • The error that happens when you cancel while hovering over any skill list symbol (game crash):

All of this coupled with the top of the screen having the recipient's name stuck on top of the screen until you choose an actual attack/skill/item the normal way.

And I'm just thinking to myself: There has to be a smart way to fix all of this without breaking Scene_Battle to pieces, since I can't quite grasp what goes where or how this is even happening to begin with.

To better streamline the process, I have made a dummy demo that contains all of the necessary scripts for bug-fixing this, complete with comment markers to tell you where my modifications begin and end.

It has the same set-up that invokes the glitches I mentioned above.

I'm at the end of my rope here and this is an important function I want to include, so I will be eternally grateful for any way to make these all work together, even if the method is completely different from what I've tried to do.
