ED feature Request - Add keybindings

Hi there, people at Frontier. I was wondering if you could add keybinds to toggle orbit lines and targeting mode (trailing-leading). Thank you.

Not a dumb request. Also, they are not implemented that I'm aware of. There is a (hidden?) keybind to turn off the hud, but I don't know if it turns off orbit lines. alt-g I think?

Personally, I would like to see a 3rd firing option in each firing group, with its associated keybind.

When you're in your ship, look at your right hand console - the one for your status and your ship systems. Tab across to 'Functions'. You want 'Orbit Lines' to switch them on and off. You want 'Gun Sight Mode' to toggle trailing or leading. Hope that helps.

Thank you but i know those functions. I was asking for a dedicated keybind for each one of them. Like rotational correction (or something like that). Plus, a 3rd firing option in each firing group (like TruffleSnout stated above) would be cool too.

Ah okay - sorry, I don't think there are keybind shortcuts for those. I also don't think there's a third firing option in fire groups - you have to skip between fire groups to manage all your systems. It would definitely be nice.

I would say it might be better to make this request as a suggestion in the suggestions part of the forum.

Oooh, and also a keybind for untargeting weapons altogether, to force gimballed weapons into fixed operation.

I know it's not exactly what you're after, but I find I can do this fast by just throwing my boresight off enough to be on empty space and then hitting the keybind for 'SELECT TARGET AHEAD'.

I just use the keybind for 'select next ship'. Won't work for turrets, but it does for gimbals unless I'm unlucky enough to have the next ship be near the center of my hud along with the actual target.
