Summary0004797: Key rebinding allows double binding of keys
DescriptionJust noticed that when I moved the health/mana best potion bindings to 'z' and 'x', the 'x' binding to Inventory (default alternate key bind) was not cleared.

When pressing 'x' I got both the mana refresh and the Inventory window opened.

I'm guessing this is not intentional, as it would allow for interesting spell combos which use different timers. Or maybe it is?

It is basically intended -- people do all sorts of funky things with their bindings, and we don't want to step on any of that.

Plus, if you accidentally bind a key to X and you didn't remember it was some sort of inventory key, that original binding would be lost and you'd never know how to recreate it. As it was, the conflict became clear to you and you could choose which to unbind.

Plus, we allow modifiers. So if you wanted inventory to be Ctrl+X while the general mana potion was just X, then that's something that kind of conflicts but kind of doesn't. So the habit we got into with AI War was just leaving it flexible and letting people sort out what they do and don't want to overlap for their own setups.
