Enhancement: Additonal Keyboard binds #65

This would be a nice to have. Specifically I have two items in mind:

I've always found I rarely use the shield as it's a huge pain to accurately click on it in a panic when things are kicking off in-game. As such a key bind for it would make it much more useful. Thermal imaging is a bit useless (I think it has some functionality in multiplayer?) and probably not even worth bothering with, but it's another function that seems to be only be possible from the GUI so could be nice to have as a key for completeness

Thermal imaging is a bit useless

When buildings have closed doors, the people inside are not visible on the scanner (though it doesn't seem to always work.. ie. in the Unguided -m 2,67 you see the agents ambush from start.

I imagine that would be the one scenario where thermal would be useful (though it is not right now, as in such a case the agents are hidden on thermal view as well).

But back to the subject - adding key bindings is somewhat related to this: https://github.com/mefistotelis/swars/issues/34
