I"ve looked, and looked, prayed and searched, but couldn't find any reasonable keybinding mods to allow extra binds.

what I'm looking for really is a mod to split the Shout/power key into two keys. preferably z and x respectively.

Not exactly what you're looking for but the closest thing.

thanks for the help I tried that and I couldn't make heads or tails of it after the few days.
