Switch items in active slots???

I have looked everywhere, maybe blind or stupid, but I can not figure out how to switch items in my active slots without accessing the inventory screen. Example: when carrying a weapon in slot 2, so the guards don't get hostile, then switching it to slot 1 for combat without using any AP. There must be a quick key but I can't find out which one. I found this "Have a weapon ready in one of your slots, but have the active item button set to the other slot. This way you don't have to waste time drawing a weapon from inventory at the start of combat, but you will generally not anger as many people by holding a gun in your hand"How do I set the active button to the other slot.

Try RTFM, or the Big Red Button right by the quickslot like the Big Red Button next to the skilldex.

Thank you for the info. I can't believe I missed that. Been playing this for awhile too. So I went and dug out my Fallout Handbook out of storage and much too my suprise, the answer was right in front of my face. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my now obviously stupid question.
