Example to use the same key sequence as the clear-cursor hotkey:

key_sequence = ""
linked_game_control = "clear-cursor"

consuming

Type: ConsumingType
Default: "none"
Sets whether internal game events associated with the same key sequence should be fired or blocked. If they are fired ("none"), then the custom input event will happen before the internal game event.

enabled

Type: bool
Default: true
If this custom input is enabled. Disabled custom inputs exist but are not used by the game. If disabled, no event is raised when the input is used.

enabled_while_spectating

Type: bool
Default: false

enabled_while_in_cutscene

Type: bool
Default: false

include_selected_prototype

Type: bool
Default: false
If true, the type and name of the currently selected prototype will be provided as "selected_prototype" in the raised lua event. This also works in GUI's, not just the game world.[2]

This will also return an item in the cursor such as copper-wire or rail-planner, if nothing is beneath the cursor.

item_to_spawn

Type: string
Name of a Prototype/Item. It will be created when this input is pressed and action is set to "spawn-item". The item must have the "spawnable" flag set.

action

Type: string
Default: "lua"
One of "lua", "spawn-item", "toggle-personal-roboport", "toggle-personal-logistic-requests" and "toggle-equipment-movement-bonus".

A lua event is only raised if the action is "lua".
