Summarize your bug There is no keybinding for "Toggle Scope" which affects both dual sight optics as well as the SOFLAM. I play with non standard keybindings, and the "F" key is used for 'Strafe Right'. Having the ability to re-bind (or even unbind) the toggle scope key would be very much appreciated. As it stands right now, anytime I am using a SOFLAM and strafe right, the zoom will engage.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By adding a customizable keybind for "Toggle Scope / Soflam Zoom"
What happens when the bug occurs? While using the SOFLAM, strafing right will cause the viewfinder to zoom in/out. This is disorienting and makes it difficult to spot targets. It also makes the scopes with more than one optic very difficult to use.
What should be happening instead? Both of these functions would be on separate keys.

Hi there,

I know I'm weird with my movement config.  I play SDFX instead of WASD.  However, I know that there are plenty of other players that use ESDF as well.  But I digress...

As of right now, there is no keybind for "Toggle Optic Zoom".  This affects both the SOFLAM as well as the dual optic scopes that are present in the game.  By default, 'F' is the key to toggle your zoom.  Unfortunately, if that key is bound to say, 'Strafe Right' (as it is in my case, as well as ESDF players), it makes aiming and moving impossible.  I have to employ a "don't strafe right while trying to SOFLAM" strategy, and it is getting old.

Please add a keybind configuration option that will allow us to rebind this function.

Thank you!
