Module Customization

Abraxos

A feature I think would improve my experience would be the option to customize a single or group of modules (weapons, shields, etc.)

The customize option would include the ability to set custom keybinds (single or group with support for mod controls such as light control in the abh mod) and the ability to create very basic circuits eg. When "G is pressed, toggle shields" or "when [key] is pressed select part group(s) [#] and [#] (or [#] - [#] and toggle [Module such as shields or weapons] [The target of the toggle command eg. Power (on/off), Fire (Hold/At will) or modded options such as searchlight mode (abh searchlight), Hangar roof open/close (abh Hangar Roof controllers), Docking or any other modded option. This would grant the user ultimate customization and control over their ship or space station or whatever it is. I wont type any more stuff cause I will get carried away.
TL;DR
The ability to bind keys to one or more modules of choice and to execute commands (If this key is pressed this will happen etc.)

Honestly, keybindings have been bothering me every time I created the buttons for a number of reason:

the game has lots of keys bound and still more are expected to be added
many mods do set keys

I've been avoiding to set keys because of possible overlap and confusion. Note: the wiki is not up to date.
It might be a good idea to generate a list of keys that might be taken up in the future by the game e.g. WASD.

And it might be a good idea to reserve the remaining keys for part groups like weapons so modders & players would bind them somewhat consistently. Makes life easier for everyone in the long run. This is up to discussion, though.

There aren't a lot of keys needed to generalize functions. And they would work well with grouped parts but would be seriously conflicting when used without or outside of grouping. Players would be at their own risk if they bind and use keys randomly. What's needed are at least:

general key for part specific ability e.g. alternative function
general key for additional part ability e.g. opening / closing door/hatch or whatever
general key for changing work mode e.g. firing mode
general key for changing ammo type and or production thereof
