We need more ways to Bind keys.

New expansion means more skill bloat. And I would like more control over my key bindings.

Shift+Mouse wheel up and down. In other mmos. I have that for my quick buffs. In this game nope.

Also my mmo mouse the top side extra buttons don't even work in the key bindings. Or the middle (not scroll key) buttons don't work in key bindings.

I should not need an outside program to give me control over my keybindings.

My side keys work just fine, same with my DPI key (which I rebound to alt in order to use that modifier). Only outside program you should need is your mouse driver to bind said keys to shift, alt, and ctrl.

Using my mouse driver to get around the bad key bindings limits this game haS it is annoying but it is what it is. Had to change my dpi keys in the drivers (it is fine.) but not able to shift +mouse wheel up to a bind is really annoying.

The reason you have to use your mouse driver is because you have to bind those keys to modifiers. They're not bound with modifiers- blame your mouse company, not SE for that, they can't magically change your side keys to modifiers.

I kinda can blame them because this is the only game that I have this issue with. In the keybinding it just plain does not accept certain keys to be bind with modifiers. I find it strange.

It also does not explain why I can't bind mouse wheel up and down with shift.

Because in the mouse section of char config there is already mouse wheel settings you can adjust that use shift, alt, and ctrl + wheel up and down.

Character configuration -> Control Settings -> Mouse

Mouse settings are separate because they're limited. They're limited because the mouse wheel is typically way too sensitive to attach it to skills in this specific game.

Also I've never had an issue binding keys and modifiers. What keys are you even trying to bind?

So you can't unassin it? Like in most hotkey settings. If you try and use a new key bind that is already assign to another key. It would auto remove said key from the old bind and put it to the new.

In other mmorpgs. Shift mouse wheel up and down is a fast and quick way to do cooldowns skills. So that is what I wanted to assign.

No, they are special binds.
