[Feature Request] Using key combinations in control options

Open Ownezx opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

As I want to debug a scenario, I want to easily go to the previous station, as such, I'd love to use shift+tab to do so. Unfortunately, it's not possible to use shift in the key bindings.

Such shortcuts would also allow richer bindings for other stations.

It's something I would like to have in some way, but not sure how to deal with yet, as shift/alt/ctrl are just normal keys you can bind as well, and I wouldn't want to lose that. The keybinding code is relatively complicated as it is already to deal with various situations...

I see three options to implement this, but I don't see how this can be done without sacrificing some things.

  • Either the keys can't be assigned alone for the combination to make sense. This doesn't have to be all three keys, perhaps just control as it is what is usually used in RTS games for control groups and could feel natural ?
  • Either these keys become activated on release instead of on pushdown. But I feel this might be extremely unintuitive.
  • These keys can be combinations only on certain posts, but not globally.

I'm of the opinion that sacrificing keys to allow to multiply possible key binds is worth it, especially when it means you can minimize hand movement.
