Description
Add "Rewind (Toggle)" hotkey
It would be great to add “Rewind (Toggle)” since currently only “Rewind” [hold] is available. Introducing the toggle variant would improve usability and bring consistency with other similar keybindings found in Settings -> Input -> Hotkeys, making the controls more intuitive for users.
Modify the current "Rewind" hotkey
Background
Currently, the rewind hotkey variables are named without the _hold suffix:
input_rewind = "nul"
input_rewind_axis = "nul"
input_rewind_btn = "nul"
input_rewind_mbtn = "nul"
In contrast, the fast-forward hotkey variables use a consistent naming pattern that includes _hold:
input_hold_fast_forward = "nul"
input_hold_fast_forward_axis = "nul"
input_hold_fast_forward_btn = "nul"
input_hold_fast_forward_mbtn = "nul"
Additionally, the UI label for rewind in Settings -> Input -> Hotkeys reads:
Rewind
whereas fast-forward is labeled as:
Fast Forward (Hold)
Request
- Rename rewind hotkey variables to add the
_holdsuffix, making them consistent with fast-forward variables:
input_hold_rewind = "nul"
input_hold_rewind_axis = "nul"
input_hold_rewind_btn = "nul"
input_hold_rewind_mbtn = "nul"
-
Update the UI label in Settings -> Input -> Hotkeys from:
Rewind
to:
Rewind (Hold)
Benefits
- Ensures consistent variable naming conventions across similar hotkeys with "hold" behavior.
- Improves clarity and readability for developers and users configuring inputs.
- Aligns UI labeling to clearly communicate that rewind operates while holding the key, just like fast-forward.
- Reduces potential confusion and increases maintainability.
Please consider this small but impactful change to improve consistency and usability.
Thank you!

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by searching for the existing rewind variables and the Settings → Input → Hotkeys entries, then trace the current hold behavior and its coverage; done means the renamed hold bindings and a working Rewind (Toggle) entry are reflected consistently.
