Inventory Screen Button Combo Rethink

Now would seem to be a good time to me for GGG to consider a rethink of button combinations, at least in the inventory menus. Basically, there are not enough buttons/combos to do all the things that players would like to do. In short, I think that for inventory screens, GGG should re-purpose Right Trigger and Left Trigger as shift keys (it seems to me to be a natural function for them within inventory screens).

Push Left Stick and Push Right Stick are just basically awkward as shift buttons and it really seems to me to be very much less than optimal to use them in that regard.

did we post this both at the same time?

I just copy my text here, in case you prefer to use this thread for suggestions:

Tbh, the whole limitation is because they use RT and LT directly instead of a toggle, do we really need RT and LT for moving the tabs? Why not RT and using the left stick, to navigate tabs, this leaves us with a whole palett of RT combos to to all kind of stuff in stash, tradeboard without any weird finger positions. Oh and it gives us LT + all keys as well and guess what, we can combine.... RT and LT + all key combos.

I just don't get this.

What strikes me as a pretty painless (on the player side) shift would be to use Right Button and Left Button to move between the tabs.

Use Left Trigger / Right and Left Buttons to reorder the tabs

Use Right Trigger / Right and Left Buttons to move through the tabs more quickly.

And now we have Left Trigger, Right Trigger, and Left Trigger / Right Trigger free for shift work.

Perhaps the intent was to keep the interface "simple". But it's a complex game and now we have the (hopefully soon to be infamous) Push Stick/D-Pad which is the antithesis of easy/simple.

The shortage of key combos really looks more and more like an own goal on GGG's part rather than some sort of insurmountable obstacle.
