Hi All,

I've added the key assignments currently defined in keyboard.xml to the wiki 
page, so that we can easily see what assignments people think are missing, and 
any inconsistencies:

http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=Keyboard_function_priority_list

Note that this only lists the key assignments for the functions that people 
have added to the wiki. It doesn't list all the current key assignments so 
shouldn't be used to work out which keys are available :)

I think it might be worth making a couple of small changes for the 0.9.11 
release to make the key assignments more consistent, and to define which blocks 
of keys we want to reserve for aircraft designers, and which we will reserver 
for user's own custom assignments. That way we have a strategy going forwards, 
and designers of new aircraft will have some confidence that they will not be 
treading on other peoples toes.

It might be worth adding a new list to the wiki page of the current functions 
for which there is a keyboard assignment we no-longer need. For example, the 
time warp and simulation rate key assignments which we will no-longer need once 
someone commits my Time of Day dialog changes ;)
