This is a simple mod that patches the vanilla key binding and provides several enhancements:

Support to use combination keys other than Ctrl, Shift and Alt (for example Z+D).
Support to set multiple combination keys for a single key binding (for example Alt+V+D).
Support to create shadow copies for key bindings (multiple key bindings for a functionality).
Support to regis press/release callbacks for key bindings (for other mod developers).
