Game Mechanics Dash and Armour ability hotkey.

[The Storm]

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but it would be nice to have an option to assign a key to use certain armour abilities and dash with a hot key instead of double tapping. There would be an option to either use the double tap, hot key or both. This could save a lot of time and would also prevent you from dashing accidentally. (Which I've done countless times)
Summary:
-In the options menu there would be 3 setting: "Double tap to use ability/dash","Double tap OR use hotkey to use ability/dash" and "Use only hotkey to use ability/dash" (Obviously word it better)
-By default the dashing hot key should be set to Maybe either C or Mouse 3 (Mouse 4 if your mouse has the side buttons) while holding the direction you want to dash in.
-Toggling your armours ability could be set to V by default (Mouse 5 if your mouse has the side buttons)
These buttons may not be ideal for some, but that's what customisable controls are for. Feedback/ constructive criticism is appreciated.

Support, this would be nice

Support, annoying when building to accidentally dash the wrong way.
Also being able to disable that pesky stardust guardian (does NOT go well with vanity)

What about console users? What would the default button be?

There's not enough buttons for them, unless they use the d pad but then they wouldn't have the shortcut keys. However console versions do have 2 jump keys, X/A and either L3/LS or L1/LB, and when I played console I used L1 to jump as it allows you to aim while flying, so perhaps X/A could instead be the dash button.

Wouldn't it just get harder though if you have to click a separate key rather than just double click the movement button if you're moving anyway?

You would be able to choose what to use, plus if your mouse has the extra side buttons then it would be very easy to click.

You can dye it with your pet slot, I've found that shadow dye goes quite well with it.

I've had this problem to. Support

Actually, judging on my past experience, Console doesn't really need this for dashing. The control stick, surprisingly, is much more natural for dashing. The sensitivity feels just right, so I can control when I dash much more effectively than I would with a simple one press only keyboard.

I find analogue sticks far worse for double tapping.

Mobile needs this too, especially for dashing. Right now dashing is about as slow as just walking because of the time it takes to successfully pull one off

The smacking of the plastic can get annoying

 

[green saber blade]

I like to press the d key a lot and the r key a lot so support

 

[FisherFrz]

Please make this happen ! That would be awesome.

 

[Feyn]

Bump!
Also, allowing button combinations as input would greatly boost controller compatibility!

Agreed!

 

[Zarjo]

Please add this, in dire need of better keybind customization.

 

[Guest735]

It would be a good addition

This suggestion post needs more love.

I'm fairly sure you can just remove its buff, unless it reappears again.
