Suggested changes to George AI menu to help with consistency.

I work in making manuals for lots of products to help people work out how to do stuff using a lot of pictures and graphics, to me the George menu is a little bit inconsistent and some change whilst we have chance would be great to see.

First I would like to suggest a separate key for the short left which currently changes Georges mode to say RCtrl A or Q or something like that, ill explain why below

Current in the FLT mode and H_B mode we have 

FLT mode

Short FWD = Increase Airspeed
Long FWD = Increase Altitude

Short BAK = Decrease Airspeed
Long Back + Decrease Altitude

Now switch to H_B mode and these commands for altitude and airspeed are reversed.

Short FWD = AGL Altitude +10ft
Long FWD = Translate Forward

Short BAK =  AGL Altitude -10ft+  
Long Back = Translate Backwards


I would like to suggest the below change to the H-B mode to keep the press consistent with the key press, this way all short keys are used for speed and momentum and all long keys are used for altitude settings, this will aid with memory management in using these keys.

Short FWD =   Translate FWD
Long FWD = AGL Altitude +10ft

Short BAK =  Translate Backwards
Long Back = AGL Altitude -10ft 


The next suggest would be to take out the Short Right command to change mode, really the WASD should be left to give George a command and a separate key could be used to change the mode it would save mistakes being made.

Now in FLT, H-B and CMBT mode we could have 

FLT mode Short L & R = Designate turn L and  R (using the correct keys)
H-B mode Short L & R =  Designate turn L or R  (using the correct keys)
CMBT Mode Short L & R = Fly Dir Route


The reason why I'm suggesting those ones is many a time I have been flying along and trying to turn left or looking left thinking I'm pressing the corresponding key only to realize I have put George in a different mode as I have hit short L

The other option is to make the change mode to a long press (less easier to press) and put all the George command that current sit in the long press mode in the short press option.
