Keymap functionality
Hey Devs!
I find that the Keymap window is really hard to use.
I would love to see someone develop a keymap interface that
*allows me to search for what function a particular keystroke is assigned to (in addition to the current function of searching for a certain function)
*can show me a list of un-used keystrokes so I know what's available to assign.
*if I try to overwrite a keystroke, it tells me specifically what the stroke is being robbed from (eg, I want to assign K to kinship, but when I do that, the warning specifically tells me "the K key is assigned to the Skills window", not just "already in use... override?")
*has a larger window (and maybe tabs for the different sections of data)
I don't know what is, and isn't, possible, but... I would hope for:
*an option to lock and unlock items that you don't want to change. (eg, I assign k to skills, I don't want to ever forget and accidentally override it, I can lock it.)
and my absolute dream:
*has an on-screen keyboard in one side of the window, and when I scroll over it, the mapped function (or the word "none/unassigned") appears in a the other side of the window. [or above or below the image... whatever]
I don't think I'm the only one who gets frustrating with the keymap, so maybe there's someone out there with the same frustration PLUS the skills to improve it.
Hoping someday!
