Prototype/CustomInput

Basics

Prototype type: custom-input

Used for custom keyboard shortcuts/keybindings in mods. The key associated with the custom input can be changed in the options. This means that key_sequence is simply the default keybinding.

See Prototype#name

Inherited from Prototype. It is also the name for the event that is raised when they key (combination) is pressed, see Tutorial:Script interfaces.

key_sequence

Type: Types/string

The default key sequence for this custom input.

• "mouse-button-2" etc for mouse buttons
• "mouse-wheel-up", "mouse-wheel-down", "mouse-wheel-left", "mouse-wheel-right" for mouse wheel (mouse wheel controls do not work for custom inputs!)
• " + " is used to separate modifier keys from normal keys: "ALT + G"
• For modifier keys, the following names are used: "CONTROL", "SHIFT", "ALT", "COMMAND"
• A keybinding can contain an unlimited amount of modifier keys (listed above) but only one normal key (listed below).

These names are available for the normal keys
