Add Individual Perk/Power Key-Binds

I'm honestly surprised that being able to choose keybinds for individual perks/powers isn't already in the game.

Say, for example, I want Hag's teleport to be on the M5 button, but I want Pig's crouch to remain on ctrl. I cannot do this without changing my keybinds when swapping between the two killers. There should be a system in place that allows the user to select a keybind for each element of killer's powers.

This also applies to survivor perks. One issue I have noticed when using For The People, is that, because my ability and skill-check button are both on M5, I cannot succeed skill checks without being forced into using For The People. However, because I am used to and should be able to have Dead Hard, Diversion, etc on M5, it would be awkward to change the binds. Once again there should be a system in place that allows the user to select a keybind for perks with activate-able abilities.

    The killers having their individual keybinds is okay, but the second part is all because of YOUR choice of having those two actions merged within the same key. Each of those perks have their individual conditions that need to be met in order to trigger them, there is no way you'll use more than one at the same time.

    To use FtP you need to be healthy and healing someone without a medkit. To use deadhard you need to be injured and running. And to use Diversion you need to be completely still and crouched.

    You just need to change your keybinds. BHVR won't change the game because you put that handicap on yourself.

    This isn't about "putting a handicap" on myself - this is about generic convenience features that should be in the game. It was merely an example of why it would be useful - an example I had no reason to give seeing as how self explanatory the feature should be anyways.
