Either for the new CommonUI plugin or with the Enhanced Input plugin, do we have a way to bind a combination of key to an action ?  
Example : Ctrl+C → open a character sheet menu

With Enhanced Input you could add a `Chorded Action` trigger (which means that your action will only trigger if the specified chorded action is triggering too):

yea thats expected, chorded trigger doesnt suppress the solo key action, both conditions are true so both fire. easiest fix is to gate the plain 1 action so it only fires when shift isnt down, or put the combo on a higher priority context and consume it. gets annoying to track once you have a few of those combos.

theres a shortcut, Advanced Input Rebinding System, a runtime key-rebinding system for Unreal Engine 5, handles chorded combos and pops a conflict prompt (swap/replace/cancel) when a new bind collides with an existing one: [Advanced Input Rebinding System](https://www.fab.com/listings/e8a77976-b4d4-4e8f-a4b4-c6a71a98554d). on sale atm ($32.71) if you want runtime rebinding without fighting the trigger structs by hand.
