If you don't use the short cut keys (like me
) then you can unassign the keys in the options menu.
That way, the shortcuts don't show up but the charges/uses still do
Obviously not a solution if you do use shortcuts
Another option might be to put things with charges/uses into the fourth or fifth (or any up to tenth) hotbar as they don't have any shortcuts assigned to it. Have not tested this but imagine it should work.
