I just thought of this, despite not actually needing it or particularly wanting it, but I'd imagine others would find it useful.
It's probably for PC and Mac users only, unless consoles have keyboards/Hotas now? (I don't own a console)
Anyhoo, on the firegroups panel, what if, when you press and hold your default action button (mine is A on my gamepad) on a particular weapon, and a radial menu pops up showing all unbound keys and buttons on your devices.
You then select the key or button you would like, and this now triggers that particular group. You can assign multiple weapons to the same custom firegroups, just like you can now with the 1/2 system.
Your HUD wouldn't show any additional information for these custom firegroups, much like when using hotkeys for things like SCBs.
Effectively, it would allow you to assign your own hotkeys to any module.
Thoughts?
