Controls Profiles

I use a joystick and I like to do mining as well as combat, but every time I switch I have to rebind my joystick commands. During combat, its nice to have strafing available on the joystick, but during mining, scanning has a higher priority, etc.

Maybe a editable drop down menu which the user could add to, creating profiles like 'combat' which contains the user preffered binds for combat situations and 'mining' which blablabla, ya know?

Rebinding doesn't keep me from changing activities, but it would be nice to beable to instantly switch.

Thanks,

You can make an alias that does the rebind for you, would that work?
you can even make them a toggle button, hit the button once for mining, again for fighting.

Look at the general forum for more details on how to work it, but something like this should work:

alias miningmode "bind BUTTON1 +Shoot2; bind...; bind....; bind; echo Miner mode enabled"

... and so on. Others can probably help with more details
