    Well, this is very usefull. For example, if you want to use come command (im talking about some sandbox mods) you just press key, instead of typing "!spawn blabla "

    It is important to have, because at the moment I can't use sandbox, because of my layout and keybinding my up key spawns neutral knights. So not to have this feature could be seen as a bug.

    I wish you could also bind keys to very specific actions, the amount of games I would have won if I could have binders e to change to knight.....

    So, a lot of people want to be able to push 1-4 to switch through arrows, or 1-2 for bombs, and the only problem that has occured is emotes getting in the way. But here's a solution with some side benefits, too.

    You should have a 'controls' menu ingame, with two additional tabs to what there is ATM, "bind emotes" and "bind weapon selectors" (better name pls).

    In bind emotes, you have a list of all of the emotes - simply click on an emote, and push a key so that whenever you push that key, it will do said emote. If you don't want it to do it anymore, there's a cross to click to disable the emote. Obviously, the defaults for this would be the normal defaults - 1=!!!, 2=::):, etc.

    In bind weapon selectors, there are 6 different boxes, arrows, water arrows, fire arrows, bomb arrows, bombs and water bombs. Each can be binded to whatever you want. Edit: Builders don't have things to select, do they? I don't play them much.

    This helps with the arrow problem (where it takes a long time to switch to a bomb arrow, and isn't always accurate), and also with this, I can bind all of the useful emotes to keys on my keyboard so I don't have to open the Q menu, select the wrong emote, and confuse my whole team/enemies. Would be nice to bind arrow keys to the pointing emotes, since they're rarely used in combat anyways.

    I'm pretty sure this has not been suggested - but if I missed it, please link. Arrow binding threads don't count, because this develops on that, and posting there will get a much smaller response.
     
  5. What I wish is for the arrow selection dialogue to function properly after using your last utility arrow, autoswapping to the normal arrow without glitching out and treating your quiver as empty.

    I agree, but that's more of a bug than a suggestion and is barely related to this thread.

    @Blue_Tiger, merged your thread with the existing thread about key rebinding. Read the stickies, etc. Warned.

    Edit: This isn't the thread I expected. It's even less related. Posting here would have been a derail.
