Mass Effect 3 Alternate Hotkeys

[Chozo4]

Thought I would share this for those that play single or multiplayer Mass Effect 3 that use the arrow keys for movements. It's a custom layout but potentially useful for some. The set hotkeys are dual function. Holding down the key activates a second ability versus a tap of the key using the main one. It will also allow you to change the hotbar order for the keys as well. It is more oriented for use with multiplayer which inspired the script. The quick-select bar cannot have the skill order modified in multiplayer without it.

Usage:
Delete: Ability 1/2
PgDown: Ability 3/4
Home: Ability 6/7
End: Reload(r)/Ability 8
Num5: [Multiplayer] Bind reload cancel to reload key.
Pause/Break: Enable Ability 1/2/3 reassignment.

The Num5 and Pause/Break hotkeys give an audible beep as to status of hotkey.
Three different tones indicate reassignment. One each with a higher pitch for each of the 3 hotkeys.
Adjust hotkey parameter 1 to adjust the key-down delay before using the second skill.
