Keybinds for powers, activating and deactivating

[leafreynolds]

We should add a keybind for each power (no default set) so that people can tap it to activate, again to deactivate if active.

For allomancy, there should be two, one for flaring and one for normal burn.

Feruchemy undecided on default tap level. Could just go for max?

Just a few thoughts:
First, If you're also holding shift (for example) when you press an Allomancy activation keybind would set it to compound, holding alt (for example) would set it to flare, holding both while pressing the activate would flare-compound.
Second, you could reuse those key-binds for Feruchemy. You could have two tap/store levels configs (defaults of 4 and 15), then when you press the activate bind, it turns on the Feruchemic power to the first default, and if you press it while holding alt, it your power to tap at the second default or max (whichever is lower). In addition, if your hold shift, it will store at the respective levels.
Third, pressing the keybind while your power is already active (burning, flaring, compounding, tapping or storing), it should turn it off.

Actually, could I work on this?

Did you get a chance to work on this? :)

I started on it, so I believe all the constants and keybindings for Allomancy are in, I just needed to begin implementation. I got busy and kinda forgot, so thanks for reminding me I was doing this.

Before I start, does this work for you? Any changes you would like made?

I wouldn't mind seeing it in game since it's hard to judge how it would feel. But what you've presented sounds good for trying.

You'll also need to be slightly careful of the keybind modifiers that are already in game, since we do already use buttons like shift and control to adjust how much of a change the mode increase/decrease is.

This is the section that deals with mode change keybinds, it happens in the cosmere library mod rather than any of the sub mods:
