I just added something exactly like this recently. I will say I disagree with some of Tony's response of it unbalancing, or being a gun that doesn't hurt yourself (I look at it in the perspective that one may *intend* to do something, and then changes their mind, hey, that is exactly what happened, except the person actually typed their intention, anyway). For anyone who cares, the input from a player is stored in a buffer (d->inbuf I'm pretty sure, there are 2 buffers being worked with in this part of the code). What I did was add something, and yes, it is a little bit of a hack, to read_from_buffer in comm.c. That is where you will want to look. If you have any more questions, you can send them to me directly if you want.
