Meta shortcut key shortage

[Futuregirl]

I would like to be able to have more than 3 rows of key-pressable shortcut keys. Certainly the number of powers a person might want shortcut-key access to is a lot more than the 18 I can reach with my left hand fingers (e.g., 1-6, Shift 1-6, Alt 1-6). The key mapper will not allow any of the following meta shortcut key combinations: Ctrl-Alt X, Ctrl-Shift X, Alt-Shift X, Ctrl-Alt-Shift X, or the setting of a couple custom ones like would be the case if I could select Caps Lock as a meta shortcut key—that is, holding down Caps Lock + (pressing and letting up) 1-6.

 

It would also help if the bar that appears when I have Superjump on was more useful than having 1 power and 9 empty slots.

 

I'm a right-handed mouse user if it isn't obvious. My main is an MM with the potential for a lot of custom macros for pets which I have 0 of right now, because I'd have to click them instead of use a shortcut key, which isn't fast enough, but right now isn't even possible because I lose track of my mouse pointer in the huge visual mess of combat. Making larger size cursors work at my graphics settings would be nice (3840x2160 UI Scale=200%).

For masterminds, at least, I use the keypad at the side to map control macros.

 

And the server bar (which you can turn off) does have more use - Kheld powers show up there, temp powers from trials will show up there, etc. Stuff which you may need access to without filling in other slots.

 

I could see maybe using ctrl-alt-something as an additional keybinding option - not sure why it isn't. I don't *think* caps lock can be used that way though.

Glad to know I can turn off the Kheldian hot bar. That I can map keys for my right hand is not useful to me playing without looking at the keyboard.

 

Ctrl-Alt something doesn't work because the code doesn't allow it. That's why this is a coding suggestion post. A user-selected meta shortcut key (e.g., Caps Lock) is possible just like other games do it with a coding change.

I rebind the F# keys as well, which gives me a few more easy-access trays.  I have to click inspirations (no quick-use key), but it's worth it on my end.
