Key bindings with modifiers?

[Kobymaru]

Hi, I was trying to re-bind keys in KSP 1.2.2.

For example, I wanted to bind "Zoom In" to Control-UpArrow.

However, when binding keys, I can bind actions to only one key. So that would be *either* LeftControl *or* RightControl *or* UpArrow, but not Control + UpArrow at the same time.

 

Is that on purpose? Is there a workaround for that?

Sorry Kobymaru but that is not currently supported.

You are telling me that basic combinations like "Shift-Something" are not supported?

[sal_vager]

Yes, binding two keys at the same time is not currently supported in KSP.

I don't think anyone has reported this as an issue, you're welcome to post it on the issue tracker.

Weird, I could swear that worked in older versions. Might be wrong though.

Thanks @Kobymaru, something like this might need a few extra buttons in the settings screen, so certain modifiers can be selected along with the detected keypress, unfortunately we also use shift and control for the throttle, so making them modifiers and unique keys would be awkward.

You're right, that is indeed awkward. However, the RightShift, RightControl and both Alt keys are up for grabs.

Left Alt is actually already in use, try it when on EVA sometime, and Right Shift is used as the modifier key on the Linux version.

Yeah, I'd love to see this as well. My old MacBook Pro trackpad let me zoom with the equivalent of a mousewheel scroll, which was a two-finger up or down gesture. My new Windows 10-based laptop SAYS that's also the mousewheel gesture, but trackpad zoom only works with both buttons held down while also making an up or down gesture.

Same for me.

Additionally, my laptop doesn't have a NumPad, which is additionally awkward.

Same - no numeric keypad. I guess I can train myself to use some kind of single-key binding to zoom, but I miss being able to do it with a two-finger scroll up or down on the trackpad. It's also a LOT slower scroll speed using a key as compared to scrolling with the trackpad.
