Additional Information

I currently have a 5 button mouse.

I had an idea to bind "Zeroing Up/Down" to combos such as:

Ctrl/Shift/Alt + Mouse wheel Up/Down
Ctrl/Shift/Alt + Mouse 4/5

so I can avoid pulling my hands off my mouse/movement keys to zero the grenade launchers/weapons but was currently unable to do so because mouse wheel and other mouse buttons are not registered as valid combos in addition to keyboard input. Only options for this are the predefined "Left Ctrl + Mouse 1/Mouse 2/Mouse 3".

It would be splendid if binds like this would be made possible.

Can't edit the issue, the second pair of bindings that link to specific tickets were supposed to be:

Ctrl/Shift/Alt + Mouse 4/5

It would actually be great if you could bind anything with the mouse keys. You can currently do combos of any regular keys such as W+S. I re-binded my "Adjust" from Ctrl to Space and I really miss the option of having Space+Right mouse to switch my optics mode.

I prefer scrolling through actions with my mouse wheel and then selecting the action with my left click mouse button but there is no option to add the user action to the left click mouse button.

Yea I could really use Ctrl/Shift/Alt mods for all my mouse keys. That would sort out all my outstanding binds and then some. Upvoted.

I see this has been assigned which is awesome! Along with adding SCROLL WHEEL+MODIFIER key support would it also be possible to allow for re-binding of the stance change keys? Note, that I'm not refering to the STANCE ADJUST key itself, but rather the use of "move forward/back/left/right" (ie. WASD) keys for the stance changes. By allowing the player to choose which keys will determine the direction of stance adjustments it will be possible to, for example, use STANCE ADJUST+SCROLL WHEEL UP/DOWN for adjusting stances up and down without forcing MOUSE WHEEL UP/DOWN to be bound to "move forward/back". Also, if we could get two new key bind commands named "speed up" and "slow down" (or something along those lines) players could then use MOUSE WHEEL UP/DOWN to transition up and down through the sprint-run-tactical-walk movement speeds.

Take it even further. Allow us to hold modifier key and drag mouse left/right/etc to adjust stance.

Please allow also combinations of modifier keys with joysticks (mini joystick in Logitech G13).

Yes, i wanted to use the mouse thumb button with right click so i could change scope view from long range scope to short range scope. But it is not possible to bind two mouse keys at the same time. basically i wanted to replace left ctrl with one of the thumb buttons on the mouse.

Any news? It would be very handful to use Ctrl+Mouse wheel to change zeroing and Ctrl + Mouse 4/5 to cancel action menu.

With this feature the player don't have to release the mouse to apply the actions above.

The mouse wheel button on the throttle controller of the Saitek X45 Pro is not mapped to the left mouse button under Windows 7. Most likely desire the middle mouse button to be mapped to actuate the selected task on the action menu.

And as the title states, the modifier button or selector also does not work. I would imagine the modifier button/wheel on the X45 Saitek joystick is treated as a keyboard alt/ctrl key modifier.
