Abe -- I'm afraid that I totally fail to see the utility of having a keypress for what you are suggesting, especially since it would slow down armor changes and have little effect on weapons changes.
Ryzom is not a "twitch" game. (With the server lag, it can't be.) You don't need (and can't get) instant switch, and that is the only case that I can think of where having keys assigned would really give you any more functionality than the current system.
It would involve a lot of coding in the main client and some way of interacting the macros (which is what you are asking for) to the "Hands Bar" or the "Equipment tab". That would involve coding at the server level as well. I'd rather see the devs working on real problems like the failure of sup mats to properly respawn on season change or just in building new lands and content.
-- my opinion, given for free and worth what you paid for it.
