[Suggestion] Use more descriptive characters for what keys are pressed #582

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I don't use QWERTY, and even if I did, I'd be using esdf for movement anyway. Overall it just doesn't make sense why wasd is used to describe button presses instead of considering it's much more terse and universal and doesn't make assumptions on the client's external influences.

On top of that the other button presses are marked by the first letter of their action (i.e. jump is J, crouch is C, etc.) and based on the default bindings of the games. Seems inconsistent.

Describe the solution you'd like

Modify these values from AWSDCJLR to ←↑↓→_^↺↻ with - used to represent not pressed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative that might be a headache to implement would be to allow clients to set preferred glyphs to represent those keys, I'm not a fan of this approach however since that's one more thing for someone to setup.
