Bring Full 1-Keybind Gear and Main/Off Hand In-Game

Runescape seems to be leaning more and more into timer achievements, we have timers for kill speeds, big game hunter, thieving, and next week will be dungeoneering. Gear and weapon swaps were a fun or nice thing to have prior to combat achievements, but with the release of them, it changed the importance of fast style swapping. Particularly important for Grandmaster kill timers, swapping styles is part of many of the grandmaster speed kill guides on PVME. Watching the attached videos to the hybrid guides, nearly all of them, full gear is swapped within a fraction of tick (7-8 keys, including the prayers). If you watch some of these high level enrage guides, world record kill, or speed kill videos it's the same story. Whatever ways they are achieving these gear swaps so fast I find irrelevant as it seems to be more and more accepted, part of the game, and future of RS PvM. I do not want to belittle the speed kills where this most common, clearly they have put an enormous amount of effort, strategy, time and attempts into it leaving many of mind-blogged. However, for those do not have this type of equipment, keyboards, mouses...etc. this where it gets a bit frustrating, especially group GM timers.

A few ideas:

  1. Allow us to keybind all armor as one keybind, duel wield weapons has a second.

I feel like this would be a massive QoL to the game. Lastly, it would be really nice to be able to bind target cycle with an ability.
