Is there an adventure mode quick guide? How do I equip a weapon I have in my inventory?

Ensure one of your hands are empty, Drop the weapon and pick it up again. Viola, equipped.

Step 1: Die until you understand the controls.

Step 2: Die until you understand how to fight.

Step 3: Kill everything that dares share the universe with you.

Losing is fun!

Or more simply:

Step 1-3: Die trying to outlive everything else.

R = remove from inventory. If you have free hands, you auto-equip it.
P = put in container. This way you can unwield your weapons (usually in a backpack :P).

You probably don't know that "shift + i" means "interact", this way you can pull out stuck arrows/weapons, get control of enemy's weapon (if you grab it and then "shift+i" it, it should be colored red in your inventory) and fill containers (waterskins, backpacks etc.) with various liquids (i.e. water; and the container should be empty but nothing stops you from filling it with items after you filled it with a liquid :P). You also pull levers in adventure mode using "interact" (shift+i). Oh wait, maybe it's U, I don't remember :P.

Can I designate a group of people my enemies so that I can attack them without using shift-A all the time?

I'm afraid not. You won't be able to attack without Shift-A and approving unless they've recognized you as an an enemy and are acting hostile, which is kind of annoying with stealth kills.

Most people should recognise you as enemies as soon as you thump them. Unless you're playing .13

Let's say I have a warhammer equipped and a spear in the inventory. How do I equip the spear in such a case?

Press "r" to open your menu and choose the spear. If you have enough room in your inventory press "p" to store the warhammer, but if not drop the warhammer, pick up some object you don't want, pick up the warhammer (which will automatically go back into your inventory), then drop the thing in your inventory.

There's this weird glitch where it will say you "don't have a proper container" for an item even if you can still force it to store items in the bag by just picking them up with something already in both hands.

Alternatively, you can just have the spear and warhammer in one hand each most of the time, throw the warhammer whenever you start fighting, then pick it back up when you're done.

Isn't that kind of stupid? Is there no option to just swap items?

Try a quiver. It'll store exactly two weapons of any weight, or weapon and shield. Put it on before your backpack and it'll stay at the top of the inventory list when you go to remove from or put into it.
