Support for binding actions to mouse buttons

Arma 3 Version: 1.67 (dev)
CBA Version: 3.1.2.161105 (? + ed1feb3)

Description:

• It appears that when configuring controls for mods mouse buttons are ignored as keybinds. I feel it's a needed feature to allow mouse buttons to be set as keybinds like for vanilla functions. For example I'd like to set Ctrl + Secondary Mouse Button as my next optic state key in MRT Accessory Functions.

Steps to reproduce:

• Hit escape, click "configure" then "controls". Click "Configure Addons", select any mod from the dropdown and double click any keybind. Press left, right and middle mouse buttons and roll the scroll wheel.

Where did the issue occur?

How? The game has no API for scripted mouse button controls, just like how it has no API for joypads.

Well I guess a feature request needs to be sent to BI then... Rather silly that hasn't already been added to the game...

There are already multiple requests for this on the BI tracker. This has been asked for for years.

[Drift91]

I couldn't find any other requests, otherwise I would have added to those. Do you have the links to any? Not sure what to search to find them.

[commy2]

I don't have any links. I've pretty much given up on the issue tracker since the old one went down and was replaced with the current one. You'll be ignored there anyway and I'm sure they don't take requests, only bug reports.

dup of #83

@commy2 is this being fixed in #651?

[commy2]

Kind of. I have a bunch of PRs that implement changes necessary for this, but it's not all complete. I will get back to it when the next version is released.
