Pointing keybind? and by extension, middle click modsuit module keybind?

Post by Sonnzer » #728277

For some of us, we may not be able to use a mouse to middle click, whether because we dont have one, or your laptop is so shit that the USB bit is broken (mine).

Simple solution - Add a changeable keybind for the things that require middle click (Pointing, Modsuit modules)

I recently had this problem, and after asking the holy gods for help, it was found out that there is no option for this.

Please add, great QoL for us robust trackpad users.

There is an in game preference to swap MODsuit modules's keybind from middle mouse click to alt click, check the game preferences menu.

Otherwise, both of these events are relatively unique in that (as far as my understanding goes) binding stuff to keys vs binding stuff to mouse presses requires separate handing.
So my assumption is allowing users to bind things to either keys or mouse presses would require a good bit of work.

Also since it's kind of relevant, byond doesn't have support for Mouse4 or Mouse5.

Did NOT know that MODsuit modules were able to be changed, thank you!
