While playing and having to adjust all my commands for custom menus and keymaps. I was thinking about how to best make this compatible with various mods.

While making profiles is a good idea, it can also can be a pain to make all those profiles and also it relies on buttons being in the same place as well as keymaps being unchanged per install.

If it was possible to map every single command in SH4 to a key press, then one could make a custom commands.cfg to include with the speech program. This commands config could work for almost every sub and every mod, regardless of whether the current commandbar had the required buttons, or where they were.

This would also make it a lot more user friendly, because key presses are instant, where as moving the mouse all over the screen can depend on what the user is doing.

Even if not every command could be key-mapped in the commands.cfg, then the fewer mouse movements the better. Only the default keys would need to be left alone, so users can use them as in the standard game, but all other additions could be done using vacant keys and variations with CTRL, ALT, SHIFT etc.

We really need a keymapping program that works properly with SH4
