Unfortunately the spoiler/speedbrake system/s seem to be much more
complicated than something that can be controlled by one key.
The Boeing 7 series A/C,not including the badge engineered 717,
use the same panels as speedbrakes and spoilers.They act as spoilers
in conjunction with the ailerons and as speedbrakes under the control
of the speedbrake handle in the cockpit.Sometimes they act as both at
once.For example they could be actuated as speedbrakes on approach
but if there is aileron input at the same time the speedbake/spoiler panels
on the up going wing will retract and the reverse on the down going wing.
on the ground they are fully extended on both wings primarily I understand
to destroy lift but I guess they are also acting as speedbrakes.
So it would apppear from other input on this subject that the spoiler/speedbrake
area will need a bit more detailed work than just one key.

I'd go along with that, provided that we can still customise it for individual aircraft and to personal taste when we want.
