Hotkeys for Map View (F10) Functions

[JLX]

I'd really like to be able to completely control the Map View (F10) using only hotkeys.

 

At the moment, once in this view, you must use the mouse to scroll around and toggle options. I would like to be able to control this entirely through my HOTAS setup.

 

So, this would include not only include hotkey commands to SCROLL and ZOOM the map but also to cycle between MAP/ALT/SAT views, and toggle ROUTES/TARGET/UNITS, center on CURRENT LOCATION and so on.

 

Apart from the convenience, with VR HMDs like the Oculus Rift coming, being able to control all aspects of DCS from the HOTAS will become even more important as we will be unable to see the keyboard and left blindly groping for the mouse to use features that we can't map to our HOTAS.

 

Thanks for the consideration.

 

Update: For Scroll/Zoom operations, new hotkeys would not need to be added. Just have the map respond and scroll/zoom using existing suite of look (up/down/left/right) and zoom keys.

It would be so great if we could mod some of this stuff.
