completed "Throw Grenade" Control Option

[Sharva 90]

Today I checked the available controls to customize in the game's settings, and I noticed that there is no option to customize the key used to throw grenades. That means, we only have the option to throw grenades using the "F" key. This brings us mainly 3 problems:-

1. This is the obvious one - if we want to assign any key other than "F" to throw our grenades, we can't.

2. If we want the keys that we use to drop a flag/a rugby ball and to throw a grenade to be different, we will have to change the key which we use to drop a flag/a rugby ball, as we are compelled to use the "F" key to throw grenades.

3. Because the keys used to drop a flag/a rugby ball and to throw grenades, are the same, we can't throw a grenade when we are holding a flag/a rugby ball.

Providing an option to customize the key which is assigned for throwing a grenade in the "Control" section of the game's settings would solve all of the above problems.

You can already customise the flag button in settings:

Soon it will be possible to set a different button for grenades, but they will still be unavailable while carrying a ball of flag - this is intentional.

Flag and grenade being assigned to the same key is intentional and will not be separated.

Oh! I thought that this keybind was only for dropping a flag or a rugby ball. I didn't know that the same key was assigned to the action of throwing grenades as well... I didn't check it. My bad!

But then again, I think the "throwing grenades" part, and even the "dropping rugby balls" part should be mentioned separately over there, as follows: Drop Flag/Drop Rugby Ball/Throw Grenade - so that players won't get confused even if they don't check it.

Why you gotta do me dirty like that 

I guess this means we're gonna have a separate grenade key soon?

But not the function. It is still either flag or grenade. The option to set a different button is only there due to double-click issues.

Took me a minute, but I got it.

So I can set the grenade to V and flag to F, and I'll be spamming V to try and throw a grenade while carrying the flag in ASL and nothing will happen, but at least I won't unintentionally drop the flag. Sensible solution.

That's alright! The important part is that players won't accidently drop a flag/a rugby ball while trying to throw a grenade, as @Maf said.

Now, thanks to the ability to select a separate button for throwing a grenade, we no longer accidentally drop a flag or throw a rugby ball. Of course, it's important to remember that if you're wearing a flag or ball, you can't throw a grenade.

Yeah. It's really convenient. Thanks a lot
