Problem Details:
Previously it was possible to bind two keys for scratches in osu!mania but ever since the entire options menu overhaul it's no longer possible. Most people in osu don't play 7K+1 and this is a big part of the reason... for 7K you don't need the scratch key and most people only play 7K here. For 8K (like DJMax) you only need one key bind per column, but for 7K+1 (iidx/bms style) charts you need to have two keys for the scratch to emulate the turntable behavior that lets you turn back and forth.
For example in LR2 you bind two keys (clockwise + counterclockwise scratching):
Example of scratching:
I think it's kind of ridiculous to need to have to use external programs to properly bind a turntable to a column in osu!mania. the game should support it just like any other mania game simulator.
Video or screenshot showing the problem:
Right now you can pick if the turntable column appears on the left or right side which is good but you're no longer able to bind two keys for it like was previously possible in the old mania input settings menu. Please fix this and add a behavior allowing you to bind two keys for the special key.
osu! version: 20150109.1 (latest)

Also on a related note, although this is already a feature request and not something that was previously in the game -> please give mappers the option to choose between 8K and 7K+1 in the key amount, as they work differently playing-wise (for 8K, you shouldn't be able to move a specific column to different sides, and each key is an actual key and thus should only get one bind, there is no special column, whereas for 7K+1 you have to have a special scratch column. Also if doubleplay is added in the future, please add support for 14K+2 as well. video example would be nice to be able to play DP charts in osu!mania well in the future)
