RMMV Editing the controls of Scene_Status with rpg_scenes.js

[Brancliff]

Did you know you can use pageup/pagedown to change which actor profile you're looking at in the menu? Yeah, neither did I. I'm looking for a way to change this. Ideally, press left to go back an actor and press right to go forward an actor. Seems pretty intuitive right?

I feel like I'm really close to the answer, but not quite hitting it. In rpg_scenes.js, starting at line 1547, you'll see this:

Scene_Status.prototype.create = function() {
    Scene_MenuBase.prototype.create.call(this);
    this._statusWindow = new Window_Status();
    this._statusWindow.setHandler('cancel',   this.popScene.bind(this));
    this._statusWindow.setHandler('pagedown', this.nextActor.bind(this));
    this._statusWindow.setHandler('pageup',   this.previousActor.bind(this));
    this._statusWindow.reserveFaceImages();
    this.addWindow(this._statusWindow);
};

I tried changing "pagedown" to "okay", and that made me able to press Z to go to the next actor. So I know I can change the controls here! But I tried changing "pagedown" to "right" and "pageup" to "left", and... that just made neither pageup/down or left/right do anything.

Any ideas on what to try next?

some wrote how keys behave on page down or up/down
for battle scene which was left or right only.

similair could be done here as well.
but you could try ("pagedown" || "right", this.nextActor

but I dont know if you use something before hand like let right = "keycode"
without quoutes, and place the number of right there, than "pagedown" || right, this.Actor
and the likes.

it's worth a try at least so you can use both.

I knew that pageDown and is and left, so is Q and W I believe.

It doesn't seem that's working for me. Using it seems to just disable either input from working. I tried your suggestion, and here's what it looks like:

    this._statusWindow.setHandler ("right" || "pagedown", this.nextActor.bind(this));

But I also tried it using apostrophes instead of quotation marks and switching the order around.

The rest of my base .js files are just the stock MV ones, I haven't edited them at all. I also tried disabling my plugins just in case any of that was a problem.

About the keycodes... I'm not fully sure I understand, but I know that the aforementioned stock MV .js files have something like this in rpg_core.js:

Input.keyMapper = {
    9: 'tab',       // tab
    13: 'ok',       // enter
    16: 'shift',    // shift
    17: 'control',  // control
    18: 'control',  // alt
    27: 'escape',   // escape
    32: 'ok',       // space
    33: 'pageup',   // pageup
    34: 'pagedown', // pagedown

It goes on and on a bit after that. I tried changing the pageup/pagedown buttons here to left and right as well, and I couldn't get any results on that either. I'm really not sure why either, I mean, how many ways are there to say "left", right? I even tried copy/pasting the word left just to make sure I didn't somehow make a typo.
