It appears some people seem to be having issues with this, and I did as well... Here's some things to take note of.

1. By default it is Left Shift. I'm not sure about other schemes, but this is for WASD.
2. I do not believe you can remove a modifier key; you have to change it to something else to have another function use [modifier key]

How do you use it?

1. Hold [modifier key]
2. Press [example: attack key]

How do you set it?

1. Click on a control for a function [example: attack] like normal.
2. Hold down [modifier key]
3. Press [new attack key]

This opens up a new control strategy, for example you can have shield bash be [modifier key] + [defend key] for quick access, etc etc. I'm currently uploading a video that partially explains it, will link when done.

I guess I'll leave it at General Discussion since it's a new update and so on, will move to New Recruits section after a while I guess.

EDIT: Video link!

That was very helpful, as I was running out of buttons on my controller

This is a real pain. Do NOT set a second key to modifier unless you absolutely have to: You can't remove the modifier key without setting your control scheme to one of the defaults.

You cannot just click on the modifier key then backspace it?

and yes this modifier key helps a lot for PS3 controller users!

@Blade-Of-Grass Huh, this is interesting. I never knew backspace actually removed a key, I thought you would end up setting it instead. Thanks for the heads up!

Not just that

You can click on any already used key and backspace to remap it.

[Problem] I hate my 2nd attack key. Is it possible to have nothing on the key?

[Answer] Click attack key 2 in "controls". Hit "backspace" on your keyboard.

Useful for when you mess up or want to try new configurations.
