Fallout – How to set a quick weapon access key with a controller in Fallout: New Vegas on PC

fallout-new-vegaspc

In Fallout: New Vegas on PC, you can set a quick weapon access keys by pressing a keyboard shortcut (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8), and clicking a weapon in the menu. The keys are replaced by directions on the direction pad when playing with a controller.
I am playing with a 360 controller, the keyboard commands are disabled. It is therefore tedious to modify the quick weapon access keys, since I have to disable my controller in the controls menu each time I want to do it.

Is there a less tedious method to set the quick weapon access keys when playing with a controller?

As @Studoku suggested, it is possible to set the hotkey using the controller.
You have to keep the Right Trigger pressed, and then press one of the directions on the directional pad.
