Provide single-button command for "Takeoff Trim"

Setting the takeoff trim (Yaw and Bank to 6, Elevator to 1) seems challenging and causes me neck distortion due to poor visibility of the dials.
Just like the "Trim Reset" command, there should be (in my opinion) a "Takeoff Trim" command.
I have managed to create such a command for myself by adding this line to the "default.lua":

{down = device_commands.iCommandRudderTrimAxis, pressed = device_commands.iCommandEleronsTrimAxis, up = device_commands.iCommandElevatorTrimAxis, cockpit_device_id = devices.CONTROL, value_down = 0.22, value_pressed = 0.44, value_up = 0.05, name = _('Trim for Takeoff'), category = _('Flight Control')},

It's a bit of a cheat, but so is the "Trim Reset" as far as I know.

There are a few of us making, or have made trim boxes for our home simpits.  Please make sure the axis commands will still override any keybind so that the hardware stays synced up with the virtual knobs.  Trim reset is a great idea for keyboard/hat switch users though!  Just want to make sure this isn't overlooked if implementing this.
