Another problems with key bindings:
The Ctrl-M used for menu in some aircrafts (Concorde and a few more by same
author) should be changed. Ctrl-M is same as enter, and that breaks rudder if
you don't have a joystick, so you can only use left rudder, not right rudder.

Locally I changed these to map to the - key, but since that now seems to be used
for other stuff I guess getting this changed upstream is better, until some keys
reserved for local bindings are added...
