Newcomer / Intro Binding keys, advanced

[Perjoss]

I'm wondering if its possible to bind keys to features that do not appear in the controls menu, like toggling life support or powering off my own FSD. Another question I had: is there another way to request docking permission rather than going into the contacts menu?

Thanks.

1. Not that I'm aware of. You can however inspect the files manually if you check "C:\Users\YOUHERE\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings" and look at the custom-binding file or the others you may have activated.
2. No, not at this stage. Not heard any rumors about any other method will be presented later either.

Thanks.

Not yet, though a key binding for docking request has been asked for. It might show up in a future patch I suppose.

I use Voice Attack for various commands and Command Macros such as Request Docking, as long as the Station or Platform is your current Target,
the VA command opens the relevant panel and does all the necessary to request docking, it then closes the panels in the correct order (so other macros work correctly) and starts playing my docking music.
.
I don't use Docking computers as they are a lot slower than me manually flying and when they first came in, were more likely to crash you into the wall.

.
Voice Attack Profile attached, it obviously uses my Key Bindings, so you will need to change as required.

Thanks for the info Del-Dread, VoiceAttack is exactly what I'm trying to set up right now, I didn't know you could ask it to open a specific tab in the left and right panel screens. I don't suppose you know where i can find examples of creating a docking macro like this? thanks.

Added my Voice Attack ED Profile to previous post, I did write it out for somebody, it will be back in a VA thread in the Archive now probably.

Found it post 39 to 42 or so this thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=24498
if it easier to understand than the profile I attached.
