PC: Non touchscreen / Alternative controls support

I request a new alternative controls.

I desire a tile "pointer" control scheme where the players can use either or both
- Virtual D-pad (Touchscreen devices)
- WASD keys (Keyboard)
- Other (e.g. game consoles, think xbox controllers)

To select tiles and units. With additional select and deselect buttons on the opposite side.
- Virtual A and B buttons
- Keyboard buttons e.g. j and k
- Other e.g. X and Y

To select select units as well e.g. the same as clicking on a unit in andriod.
Deselect cancels the select select command.

In summary I want to be able to
- navigate and choose units as I wish with the select pointer tile.
- Select any unit and interact with it e.g. move, build
- Cancel selection if required.
- Able to use this in towns selection menu and production menu
- (Perhaps with an extra button) Toggle between movement (after selecting on a unit) and unit abilities e.g. select healer, heal movement opens and tile pointer accessible to use, toggle between movement to unit healing ability.

Left click — as in current android normal click.
Right click — as in current android long click.
