Description
It's not always needed, but when a system has so many keys that we end up with several identical column names it sucks, especially if they have to be close to each other. Maybe ability to rename some of them would help, or a way to not replace the original names (barring player index part).
For analog inputs we have a way to set shorter names right in the main lookup, but for buttons those are single char only. Which is fine for the log itself and for OSD (maybe, it's kinda unusable for systems with keyboards anyway), but can be helped in tastudio.

Research direction
Start in TAStudio by locating the code that generates column names for analog inputs and buttons, then compare it with the main lookup's shorter-name handling. Done means nearby columns remain distinguishable without forcing button names to one character, or users can rename them in TAStudio; verify the result with the relevant UI behavior.
