Has there ever been any talk about a "return salute" key?
There has been I few times when I've been in a furball and can't return a salute, then get a "no return salute?" message from the one who send the me a salute.
Or I'll get shot down trying to return a salute.
So, I think a return "salute XYZ" key would solve that problem.
I'm not to software savvy, but don't think it would be too difficult to add on.
