Reason I can't use the new D-Scan is silly and gamebreaking

You can't unbind (at least I don't think you can) the changing of what filter to use when scanning from the numerical keys 0-9. Which means I always accidentally switch it to something else than the setting I want when pressing a number key and having the d-scan in focus by accident. Suggest either flat out removing the feature or at least allowing me to unbind them, I already have them bound to other stuff.

OP is right, the current hotkey setup for the scanner is awful.

IIRC the number keys are already used, by default, for tagging. So, not only is there no intuitive way to change the scanner bindings, but they've overloaded their own default, preexisting bindings.

At work at the moment, but I don't recall even seeing a way to change which filter setting goes with which keybind.

I'm assuming this is all simply incomplete.

Which number keys? I have my number keys and my number pad already bound and use them frequently. I'm already kind of ****** off with the key binding system. Can we please have a 'clear all bindings' button instead of having to manually unbind every key I want to use which is already bound to some arbitrary task I'll never use? Also how about a 'Export keybinds to XML' feature so I don't have to rebind on every account and every client?

Oh god.
