I wish gaming companies would get this right at least. More and more, certain actions are hardcoded which begs the question why have rebinding at all if you can’t bind things to keys like F or E or so?
If you’re on windows powertoys lets you remap keys.
can I remap my teams and screenshot buttons?
I recommend you try sharex https://getsharex.com/downloads
but with these keybinds
In particular ctrl+printscreen for a fullscreen immediate screenshot shift+printscreen is a region screenshot but it takes a video of your region instead of a picture I use that all the time
example https://youtu.be/-QzkPyEsslE
You can then cut that with losslesscut really really easily

If your video is too big to share (25mb) then you can recompress it with handbrake https://handbrake.fr/
Yes, I rebound ctrl+alt+t to ctrl+alt+w because that makes way more sense to undo close tab, on the same keys as close tab (ctrl+w)
A difficult one to develop a good U.I. for.
This is a computing universal problem, like dark mode is/was
I hate that the extra mouse buttons (mouse 4 and 5 I think?) are set to back and forward. Way too many mice are super easy to read on accident, but it’s not a big deal because it doesn’t do anything except when “gaming” or if you set it up for something specific. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally gone back.
The worst thing to me is not just that I can’t change the browser defaults, but many actions can be overridden by websites. Like
Ctrl+hopens my history on every single site. Except for Google Docs. Why!!! Don’t let websites hijack standard hotkeys.But I would also kill for customizable keyboard shortcuts in general. Especially if I can run custom JS from a shortcut.
Okay what the fuck is wrong with browsers and having the stupidest hotkeys? NO, I would NOT like a shortcut for saving the webpage as html. Please disable ctrl-s by default!
Yes, if I could I would un-bind all keys, then look at the list of possible actions and devise my own keyboard control scheme to my liking. And then I should be able to export that to a standardized keybinding file format and carry it with me to other computers and preserve my keybindings.
Games often suffer from the same issue.
I’ve even made a list of features a keybindings control should have.
Ability to bind multiple keys or key combos to the same action Ability to delete all keybinds, save keybinds, restore keybinds, undo keybind choice ability to bind any keyboard, mouse or joystick element to any action ability to set if the action is HOLD or TOGGLE ability to bind a key to more than one action ability to quickly find keybind duplicates all actions should have an explanatory tooltip message when binding a key that is already bound elsewhere, there can be a warning, but enter/ok should just bind the key as requested and not unbind the other there should be a way to set a key which will change the keybinding to another layout (I think they are called keymap layers, this is becoming a builtin keyboard feature) reset keybinding to default, should not be something that happens by accident keybind changes should not require pressing "save" for them to take effect it should be easy to unbind one key from an action and to unbind all keys from an action setting a keybind should not be annoying (you click the action, press the key, it is bound, don't ask a bunch of questions)Whoever made the decision to bind Ctrl-Q (something right next to Ctrl-W) as Quit/Close Window needs to be shot.
