Question about multi-key bindings

[Phasma Felis]

I'm using the Default Context bindings; I love how many binds are available on a gamepad, but it would be nice to have a few more without going to the keyboard. A friend who plays on PS4 and PC mentioned that you can bind combos to multiple face buttons, e.g. B+Y+Up is separate from B+Up or Y+Up.

This works...sort of. I can set a bind to B+Y+Up, but when I hit it, it activates that bind and also the unmodified B and Y bindings, as if I'd pressed B+Y+Up, B, Y. That obviously isn't so useful. My friend says it definitely works on PS4, and that she got it to work properly on PC a couple of years ago but doesn't remember how. Any ideas?

Though I utilize a Warthog and throttle while playing ED on PC. I utilize a game pad for Star Citizen on my PC. In both cases, the games offer one the ability to reconfigure any and all of the default configs. Doing so can and will effect some of the other defaults. Thus I've taken the time to completly delete any and all and only utilize the ones I reconfigure myself. It takes a long time, and afterwards one must make sure to have a copy, to reinstall again if needed thus avoiding having to redo the entire process.
I've recently bought a software program called " reWASD ". It allows one to completely reconfigure any and all controller aka game pads thus eliminating any reason to use a keyboard and mouse. Again, it takes a bit of time, and one must make sure to have a copy when finished. But where as I hate KB+M to the Nth degree. No longer need it at all what's so ever. A controller generally has about 14 buttons. Utilizing reWASD, and implementing two modifiers', gives me more than 40 reconfigurations available. Which in regards to my style of play is more than I actually need.

ED has defaults configs for both the Warthog, its throttle as well as most game pads. Resetting any and all of them isn't necessary. But having a second modifier makes any game pad considerable better and more useful.

I do this, I had to unbind the default B and Y binds and move them to something else. I will post my binds. Notice that xyab do nothing by themselves.
