The sad part is that this is far, far, FAR from a comprehensive list. We've all but begged for this option for years. YEARS. Frankly, it's silly how long this has gone ignored. And at this point, that's exactly what it is: ignoring it.

Isn't it time that you give us this one, tiny little option?

It will take infinite key bind technology that works on 4 platforms. Or more intuitive automated functionality.

Seems silly to put a toggle for a flashlight in the gear wheel...

...Unless we can have different colored flashlights.

$100 pink flashlights!

Perhaps have it tied to secondary fire on the drills? until there's a way to maybe lessen the strong light from the flashlight or have it be an option in the menus? (no lights for infested tile-sets would be kinda baller tbh)

Flashlight control is needed most in this scenario which is also the only scenario that frees that key bind 🤔
