Saboteur needs an alternative key bind

I can't tell you how many times I've tried healing someone on hook only to accidentally sabotage the hook. Not only does this trigger the hefty 60 second cooldown but it also deactivates the perk regardless of whether or not you successfully sabotaged the hook. This is very annoying; therefore, the perk's key bind should be changed to something other than M1.

While we're on the topic, the cooldown should only be triggered if you successfully perform the sabotage action. This wouldn't be game breaking because the sabotage action takes so long that you are unable to successfully sabotage a hook during the killer's basic attack cooldown animation, with this perk alone. If you want to successfully sabotage a hook during the killer's basic attack cooldown you would need Alex's toolbox with sabotage speed add-ons; in other words, you will need and increase of 150% sabotage speed.

Please consider these changes, this isn't even an over-powered meta perk, it could use a small buff like this.

    Healing a freshly unhooked Survivor right under the hook is a bad idea in general. You should move somewhere, behind a nearby wall or rock, before healing.

    Depends on the situation if you have healing perks and killer is chasing someone on the other side of the map its faster to just heal under the hook.

    I would not be against making one of the other action keys to be the one to use to sabo hooks when having the perk.
