Input command namming suggestion

[sedenion]

I wich make some suggestion about "Input Command" naming rules to make the command mapping more easy clear and consistant.

 

The suggestion is very simple:

By default, DCS sorts the command list by alphabetical order, however several input commands are highly related each others but totaly scattered in the list due to alphabetical order sorting.

 

The most obvious examples are :

- AA Gun SELECT

- PCA SELECT

- MAGIC SELECT

 

or:

- Aux. UHF Radio SELECT

- Main U/VHF Radio SELECT

 

A better solution can be:

- Weapon Select AA Gun

- Weapon Select PCA

- Weapon Select MAGIC

 

and:

- Radio Select Aux. UHF

- Radio Select Main U/VHF

 

Also, a way to pack input commands together in the list without having to select each categories one after other can be to add some category prefix in the name:

 

- HOTAS - Weapon Select AA Gun

- HOTAS - Weapon Select AA Gun

- HOTAS - Weapon Select PCA

[...]

- HOTAS - Decoy PANIC release

[...]

- PCA - Master Arm TOGGLE

- PCA - Button 1 SELECT

[...]

- PCA - Button AG Gun SELECT

[...]

 

 

etc...

While I agree with your first point (It should alway be like that, in every module :)), I do not agree with you for the categories in the name : You are already able to filter by category so I find it redundant and not really useful.
