Controller settings

Hello everyone,

I'd like to suggest a quality-of-life improvement for controller players. I think it would be a great idea to add a modifier button feature, similar to what you see in games like The Finals.

The concept is simple but would add a lot of flexibility. For example, you could designate a button, like the DualSense touchpad, as your modifier key. When you hold this button and press another one (say, R1), it could trigger a different function. This would be perfect for actions like throwing a grenade, which would free up your primary button layout for more immediate abilities.

This system would work much like the separate key bindings for keyboard and mouse setups, where you have different columns for each. For controllers, we could have two separate columns in the settings: one for actions without the modifier button, and another for actions with the modifier button pressed.

This would allow for a much more intuitive and efficient way to use all the available button combinations without having to sacrifice a primary action. What do you all think?

    I like the idea. Sort if like combo buttons. I wish they had a function to free look as infantry, instead if aiming everywhere to look around. Idk what button combo would work for that. Problem with using the Touch pad is that it is already linked to the big map ' unless you remove that function and not use the big map.

    The map could be remapped to a different button. Alternatively, the modifier button could still be used for a normal function with a single press, since a long press is required for the modification. So, a single press could still toggle the map, while holding it down would act as a modifier button. If this functionality were to be implemented along with a good gyro implementation, we would get perfect controller support.
