Custom hotkey for using modded capsule

Post by Jorn86 »

What?
Allow setting a custom hotkey for using a capsule added by a mod
Why?
I'm maintaining the Move with the Mouse mod. The way it works, is:
* Player presses a custom hotkey that puts a custom capsule item in their cursor
* Player uses the build action (default left click) to use the capsule
* Mod reads the capsule target location and walks the player character there

There is, as far as I can tell, no way to change the keybind for step 2, other than to change it for all build actions. Separating out build and use capsule would be pretty nice. Allowing a custom hotkey for my particular capsule, would be even better.

Or even better: allow (keyboard) action “use capsule”, that will silently use a customized capsule at destination without the need to put it into hand.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

I've already got a workaround for that: If you bind a lua action to the same key as the custom use capsule action (or currently, the build action), both will trigger. Effectively, that would already work as you describe.

The difference is, your suggestion is not a hack ;)
