    What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

    I use and love Bartender.  Couldn't function without it!

    I also use and love a Logitech G13 speedpad, and couldn't function without it either. :)

    The keys on my G13 are number "G1" through "G22."  To use it, you bind its keys to some other key combination, so, for example, G1 -> 1, G12 -> =, G13 -> ALT-1.

    When you bind a key, Bartender has a helpful label reminding on each button showing what key it is bound to, like "A1" for ALT-1.  Which is awesome.  But my "A1" is really "G13" and it would really, really help me out with some of the lesser-used keys if I had the option to define what it prints; in the middle of the raid it's a struggle to mentally map "A5" to "G18."

    I'm sure not everybody has their G13 set up like mine, and there are lots of other speedpads with other button-naming conventions, so I would guess you'd have to allow pretty much arbitrary button keystroke labels to make this work.

    I'm not actually sure where this would slot into the existing keybind UI, since it's so streamlined.  Maybe an optional "label map" in the bartender settings window?  You could set it up so people could add one or more mappings, i.e. "A1" to "G13" and then anywhere the keybind is about to label something "A1" it checks an associative array to see if there's an entry for something else to print instead?

    Please provide any additional information below.

    Sorry, I don't know enough about Lua to know if this is easy, impossible, or just a plain bad idea.

    Thanks very much for Bartender in any case, it's awesome.
