Description

Hi,

Do you think it is possible to have a function like customButton to configure hotkeys directly by the lua script ? I think it could simplify the actual hotkey system and provide more flexibility in custom mission.

Something like :

AddCustomHotkey("helms","HOTKEY_WARP","W",function()
player:commandWarp(1)
end)

Research direction

Review the existing customButton API and hotkey system, then determine where Lua scripts expose configurable controls. Define the behavior and interface for an AddCustomHotkey-style function, including key bindings and callbacks. Done means mission scripts can register a hotkey and invoke its callback reliably.
