Revision as of 09:44, 28 November 2007
As a first step in the keyboard refactoring, we need to come up with a prioritized list of functions that (a) are general enough to apply to most (or at least many) aircraft, and (b) are important enough to justify a keyboard shortcut rather than just a menu/dialog or a model hotspot.
Feel free to add to the list, but please don't delete anything — just move it to the bottom if you don't think it's important.
As we'll probably not want to change too many existing key-bindings, The current CVS key-binding is also listed in brackets.

- Winch / Aerotow (begin winching, open hitch etc)
- View controls
- view reset [Ctrl-V]
- look left/right [Shift-4/Shift-6]
