PSA | FSS & double-binding

[Qohen Leth]

Some of us remember, and used, or still use, the quality-of-life trick of double-binding the 'Enter FSS' and 'Set Speed To 0' commands, as well as 'Leave FSS' and 'Set Speed To 100%' commands, to save ourselves a very repetitive sequence of commands.

Well it seems that some patch or update since then has removed that option, as I was trying to re-bind my FSS I couldn't double-bind.

However, in case you're in the same situation and on PC, rejoice! You can simply double-bind via the key bindings file, and it'll work just as it used to do.

Your key bindings file will be in %appdata%/Local/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous/Options/Bindings; make a backup obv, then look for the line with the keys you want to double-bind, so as to get their exact denomination, then look for the appropriate lines and paste them.

Set speed to 0
Line 169 <SetSpeedZero>

Set Speed to 100
Line 185 <SetSpeed100>

Enter FSS
Line 533 <ExplorationFSSEnter>

Exit FSS
Line 1378 <ExplorationFSSQuit>

Thought that'd help.

Man, I'm bookmarking this for future reference. Mine still works, for now, but I may get a different HOTAS at some point in the near future.

Mine's still working, good to know there's a workaround if I need to redo them and the GUI says no.
