Full state switch iso toggle switch request (Canopy, AAR door, Flaps, CMSP, Seat arm...

Hello gents,

I'm a f-16 regular flyer but I welcome a change from time to time and lately was attracted to the A-10C
I am thus reconfiguring my environment to the A-10 and the usual first step for that is setting up keybinds and analog axis.

I'd like to kindly request some full state position binds alongside the usual toggles. 
I understand toggle might work for most users but many of us (more and more) build custom button boxes or even cockpit and having both toggles and all state switch position ensures both type of guys can have all they want.
Please understand I am not requesting the replacement of thge toggles, but indeed adding All states alongside the toggles.

I understand there is a way for users to create their own bindings in the .lua files but
1. I forget how to and I am currently looking at how to do it to avoid having to wait for the next update that may or may not address this situation
2. I am under the impression (I may be wrong) that each update might actually delete the custom added key lines from the .lua files and I just hate redoing all this after each update. Please If I am wrong or if there is a way to keep these adds persistent, please do let me know. 

1. Canopy is currently exclusively a toggle in the A-10CII keybinding 
Although the real switch is a ON-OFF-MOM with MOM on canopy close (just like the F-16 btw)
So I'd like to request a bind for Canopy Motor OPEN, canopy motor STOP and canopy Canopy motor CLOSE (MOM)

2. Seat ARM is currently exclusively a toggle in the A-10CII keybinding 
We could use a two position keybinds: SEAT ARM and SEAT SAFE alongside the current toggle

3. AAR DOOR  is currently exclusively a toggle in the A-10CII keybinding and not quite obvious to find for that matter 🙂
Air refuel control it's called.
We could use a two position keybinds: AAR DOOR OPEN and AAR Door close

4. The CMSP switches are also exclusively toggle in the A-10CII keybinding 
We could use  two position keybinds like RWR ON & RWR OFF, JAMMER ON and JAMMER OFF,  MWS ON & MWV OFF
alongside the current toggles

5. I have seen other discussions about this but FLAPS are very hard to setup with you own button box
Indeed the keyboard can only be used for Flaps down and flaps up but FLAPS are 3 positions switch: Flaps UP, Flaps 1 (or TO) and Flaps 2 (or LDG)
Having a full state (FLAPS UP, FLAPS middle, FLAPS FULL or whatever you call it) could be much easier to setup than the current increment way which is not possible to setup with a regular three position switch.
Some will certainly say that there is the special for joystick which mimicks the warthog throttle behaviour but these cannot be assigned to keyboard (unless I am mistaken) and not all of us fly with a warthog throttle.
Again, if there's a way to assign the special joystick binds to a button box switch, please let me know. 

I am pretty sure there are others (analogue axis anyone) which I will find later on as I progress with my setup. And I will list them here hoping for these binds to be added at some points

Many thanks for your input and guidance in the meantime

Have a Bandit Day
