So we currently have the fall distance helper in-game. It was recently modified to account for climbers. It was later pointed out that shimmiers have a different fall distance yet again, due to how far their feet are from the ceiling vs climbers.

My train of thought on handling this ultimately lead me to thinking that helpers should be completely customizable. Some defaults would ship and be configured in the default hotkey layouts, but it would be possible for the end user to configure as many custom ones as they like, on whatever keys they like. This would essentially work as a hotkey with a sub-option (similar to what eg: skill select, frame skip, etc have), with the option being selecting an image file.

Is there much interest in such a feature?

Probably should bump this topic, now that it's got actual detail rather than just being a vague placeholder / reminder.
