Extended Key Binds
Extended Key Binds
This may have been asked before but if it has, I couldn't find it in the list.
Apologies if it has.
I'm not sure if it is already possible within JKA to assign binds to key combinations. If not I believe it would prove useful.
For example:
/bind ctrl+t emsit.
/bind f+g emhello
With the admin comands and emotes list becoming so extended, it would be great to be able to make more use of keyboard shortcuts.
Of course the player would need to be responsible for selecting what keys they use. Everyone's controls are different so it would be silly to use "ctrl+t" if ctrl is your jump button. That wouldn't work.
JKA already acknowledges certain key combinations, such as shift+` for the console. I'm maybe being presumptuous but shouldn't this allow for other combinations?

I'm thinking for a broader use as well.
For example, think about binding various levels of push to different keys.
So say you have Push 5 which is normally used by pressing 1 on your keyboard.
Imagine you wanted to use Push at level 2 so that you don't blast the room without having to change your template.
You could bind shift+1 to use Push level 1.
If possible this could be set up like the following:
/bind 1 force_throw5
/bind shift+1 force_throw2
This might be branching off into a different suggestion, but is very much part of its extended use.

Actually, that's already possible, Vantus:
\clientinfo
Then copy the line of text for Force Powers - it's a set of numbers.
Bind it using \bind <key> seta forcepowers <numbers>
That'll switch your Force Power settings to match their current config. When you want to alter it, simply change them in the menu and bind that as well, to a different key. That way I switch between Push 5 and 4 with one button, just as with Lightning 2 and 4...

Do you mean like /write and /exec?Aslyn wrote:Actually, that's already possible, Vantus:

If so, those have other effects such as changing your skin to whatever you had on during /write. (Unless that's also been changed.)
This was just another use I thought of for extended keybinds.
It would save swapping templates around if each power (and preceding levels) were bindable without swapping configs. Having multiple sets of configs can get messy too, especially when you start rearranging keys on one and then have to do the same for all others.
Having key-combination binds was my real suggestion.

I *love* this idea! Besides just push5 it should make a difference on hold 4-5 as well, since the differences between those and 3 are extreme, just like the dfferences between push 4-5Vantus wrote:Do you mean like /write and /exec?Aslyn wrote:Actually, that's already possible, Vantus:

Nope - the bind I've suggested there ONLY alters your Force Template.Vantus wrote:Do you mean like /write and /exec?

For example:
\bind <key> seta forcepowers 7-1-030444520240004333 sets my Force Push to Push 4, leaving the rest of my template unchanged. Then using
\bind <key> seta forcepowers 7-1-030544520240004333 sets Push to 5, leaving everything else unchanged.

That's actually very useful to know. Thanks Aslyn!
Now the question I'm really asking is:
Can the example of \bind <key> seta forcepowers 7-1-030444520240004333 be bound to ctrl+g or alt+8 or shift+F3?
