I found this line on 737-300 (but there are they also in more aircraft):
<action>
<name>nav frequency decrease</name>
<button>0</button>
<x>50</x>
<y>35</y>
<w>8</w>
<h>8</h>
<binding>
<command>property-adjust</command>
<property alias="../../../../params/nav-freq-standby-prop"/>
<step>-0.05</step>
<min>108.0</min>
<max>117.95</max>
<resolution>0.05</resolution>
<wrap>true</wrap>
</binding>
</action>
I found also:
<action>
<name>OBS small counter-clockwise rotation</name>
<button>0</button>
<x>-46</x>
<y>-56</y>
<w>12</w>
<h>24</h>
<binding>
<command>property-adjust</command>
<property>/instrumentation/nav[0]/radials/selected-deg</property>
<step>1.0</step>
<min>0</min>
<max>360</max>
<wrap>1</wrap>
</binding>
</action>
I Think I can select nav frequencies and rotate OBS with button 0. But I
didn't find any use of the axis ( for example, using a joystick ).
