IIRC, there is a keyboard.xml in $FG_ROOT where you can define the key 
bindings of FG. So no code change should be necessary.

I disagree.

I think it should be Ctrl+PgDown or Shift+PgDown, since PgDown is associated 
with decreasing throttles, these two combintations will be logical.

[Flightgear-devel] Replay mode

2005-01-17 Thread Jim Wilson
Having just hit it unintentionally, I'm wondering if the replay key should be
bound to a combo key (a Ctrl+key) or Fxx key?  It has pretty dramatic and
sudden effect.   Making it the "r" binding not very good UI design (unless one
is doing more replays than flying).

For some reason I thought "r" was reverser.  It'd be nice to have "r" and "R"
for thrust reverser on/off,  which is a binding that is as fundamental for the
jet aircraft as the brake keys or magnetos are for the others.

If there is consensus on this one change (not a discussion of the entire
layout again please :-)) then I can commit a change or wait for post release.
 It seems that this as a non-critical UI-bug.

Best,

Jim
