{{cquote|<nowiki>A separate step, much harder to make happen, would be to explicitly reserve the
Ctrl (Command on Mac) keybinding space for menu/non-aircraft keyboard
shortcuts. I would really like to do this so we can have user-friendly
key-bindings for dialogs and standard items, such as Ctrl-Q to quit, Ctrl-A for
autopilot dialog, Ctrl-P for pause, Ctrl-R for reply, etc. [And the entire
normal key / key + shift / key+alt ranges available FOR aircraft functions, of
course) The problem is right now we have aircraft using Ctrl- shortcuts for
many things (usually because they're the only choice), and I can't decide a
sane way to migrate to this split without lots of breakage and frustration. Any
ideas welcome.</nowiki><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40838.html|title=<nowiki></nowiki>|author=<nowiki></nowiki>|date=<nowiki></nowiki>}}</ref>|<nowiki></nowiki>}}
