Please make all controls more modifiable with <shift> <alt> and <ctrl>
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In my opinion the modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) should work like modifier keys on all other keys and mouse buttons. It's more intuitive to me that way. Right now, they're limited to the same set that we had in Arma2. We do have a limited ability to do that already, but I would like more.

Steps To Reproduce

For example.

I rebound Throw to <CTRL>+<Left Click>. It makes sense that you're modifying the fire button, right?

I bound <SHIFT>+A+D keys for Left and right pedal in the heli. You're modifying the bank movement.

Since I don't have TrackIR I bound <CTRL>+W+S+A+D to LookUp\Down\etc so I can make accurate landings in the Littlebird. All of these are intuitive ways to modify the existing controls to do something different without finger gymnastics.

However, that's where the limitation in Arma is. I feel like I should be able to modify any key or button with the modifier keys.

I have a 9 button mouse, so in theory I could bind 27 commands just using <shift><alt><ctrl>, or more if we can hold several at once!

So can you please add this ability?
