[HelipilotEGLW]

Hi,

As the title says.....would it b e possible to click the screen on the KU and allow the user to input using there physical keyboard. We have been able to do this in P3D and Xplane for some time in the FMCs. it is really handy feature.

 

thank you.

Maybe they add it or maybe they don’t but in the mean time what I found useful was binding one of my toggles as a modifier (if you have one available) and binding all the keys to the keyboard with the switch as a modifier so I would switch my toggle type and switch off, if you leave on your other buttons won’t work until you click it off.  Now the ku is already bound to the keyboard with a modifier but I found it personally awkward to use, you could rebind the ku and rework your controls might be another work around if you don’t have a switch or don’t wanna mess with the toggle. 
 

hope this helps you in the in between time.

I did something similar and mapped a button on my cyclic as a modifier.  So as long as I have that button pressed, which I can do without taking my hands off the stick, I can type on my keyboard to input data into the KU.
