How difficult would it be to add hotkey support for the order of keys pressed? For example, the combination Z+X does something different than pressing X+Z.
Secondly, would it be practical/possible to assign duplicate hotkey combinations to some kind of array? For instance, a user could assign the placement of all civ-economy buildings to B+N, all military buildings to B+M, and all other buildings to B+L.
In the game, pressing B+N once, when a worker is selected, brings up a house to place. If the building remains selected, but the foundation has not been placed yet, pressing B+N again, switches the building to be placed from the house to the storehouse, then; Farmstead, Field, Stables, and Dock, (assuming all were assigned the same hotkey combo), until the building is placed or action canceled.
The change would make the hotkey mod more "Accessibility" friendly. I'm not severely limited, but have chronic damaged postural back muscles from suv vs bike at highway speeds, circa 2014.
Ideally, for me, all key combinations I need would be within reach of the left hand 'F index' position. There are 24 standard keys (123456qwertyasdfghzxcvbn) I can reach easily, along with shift, control, alt, and space. If just the six keys of the left bottom row (zxcvbn (US english)) were fully available to any 2, 3, or 4 (finger) key combination, there are 50 possible combinations. I imagine that is more hotkeys than most people regularly use. If there were also array like assignments to a single key combination, every hotkey feature would be possible with just 6 keys.
Regardless, thanks for the ability to modify the hotkeys. It really helps.
