I've been giving some thought to a modal key mapping scheme for all or just a section of the k/b. For example, the k/b could be set up so that the left hand keys have constant functions i.e. necessary fundamental operations but the right hand keys would have different functions depending on the mode i.e. specific instrument controls such as radios or radar etc or even weapons systems.
