TOPIC | Coliseum Hotkeys Upgrade: Rebinding!
I've been more active recently on FR, and breeding a lot of kids to train and yeet to our beloved deities, and I've realized something. With the giant amounts of training I do, I use the coliseum hotkeys a lot, and they're wonderful. I do, however, have one singular issue with them - my pinkie finger (used for about half of the keystrokes I need) and my wrist are absolutely dying.
I think it would be awesome if we were able to rebind the hotkeys, or even get an alternate set of prebound keys that simply switched hands, from left to right, just to give people's muscles a break. I'm already getting sore in the fingers and wrists, and I have friends that grind nonstop during festivals that I've asked about it, and their hands get really sore too. Full disclosure, I don't know how hard this would be to code, but I do think that it would (probably) be worth the time at least trying to figure it out.
Everyone else's feedback/discussion much appreciated!

Support. Current coli keybinds are horrible, it's like a person who done them never played with keyboard and mouse. We sure as H need rebindable hotkeys

Might I suggest multiple keybind options, too, similar to loadouts in other games? I'd love to have one set of right-handed keys and another set of left-handed keys and the option to switch freely between these two sets in between battles.

Why, you ask, do I need to switch hands on the fly? Simple. My cat.

Sometimes he likes to sit on my left side, others on my right, and others still he'll swap sides! I need one hand to coli and the other to scratch his soft little chin!

Yes I am a shameless crazy cat human and this is an example of the "curb cut effect" where something made to increase accessibility also helps typically abled people. Not only does multiple keysets help people who need to switch hands due to fatigue/cramping/disabilities/etc., but it also helps crazy cat humans like me give constant pets to the precious cat.

Support! My want for the hotkeys was to relieve my wrist from the small repetitive motions of the mouse... but I find the current hotkey configuration to hurt my wrist as well! Not everyone has the same size hands or keyboards, so being able to rebind them for something more comfortable would be such a lifesaver.
