I was wondering if we could get some sort of quick macro ability. We can define a 'macro' which would be a dot command and assign it to a key or a joystick button. We perhaps could have a config file, or some GUI tool in the game to define a finite number of macros.
Example (excuse me if the keys are already assigned to something):
CTRL-SHIFT-F1 executes macro_1
CTRL-SHIFT-F2 executes macro_2
CTRL-SHIFT-F3 executes macro_3
where you could define your macros in terms of dot commands, for example:
macro_1 is set to be ".radio 5 4"
macro_2 is set to be ".radio 5 3"
macro_3 is set to be ".wingman foobar"
The above are just arbitrary examples. The important bit is a quick way of issuing self-defined dot commands without having to bring up the radio console and start typing it in when your flying. This could be the perfect excuse to extend the dot command command-list to include any manor of things like .target, or .stickset, or .bailout, or, .mute, .takeoff_nw, or .damnwellanythingreally.
This could be used in conjunction with the range channel becomming fully tunable, so we could quickly retune the radio at a simple key-stroke. The sky is the limit - excuse the pun...
