Revision as of 15:04, 12 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.
