Hi there,
Whilst this may be only for a minority of players, it would be really handy to be able to assign different button modes for the 1st and 2nd column in the controls options.
I use both VoiceAttack VA and a warthog HOTAS and have, for example, Silent Running set for 'Del' so that VA can use it and also direct on one of the switches on the HOTAS using the two columns in Controls to have both available to me.
With VA, I need to have the button mode set as TOGGLE so when it needs to, it sends 'Del' keypress to ED. However, only a few of the switches on the HOTAS work well with Toggle and I already have those applied to other, more urgent functions. So, I need to use switch 20. This requires a two step approach of click forward and then click back. With HOLD, this would be perfect. Switch forward, Silent running On, switch backwards, Silent Running Off. However, set as HOLD, VA would not be able to perform. Alas, neither option of toggle or hold for landing gear is there and this too, would be handy.
Therefore, would it be possible to set different Button Modes for each of the two different assigned controls.
If this appears a bit muddled, and it does to me, a simple table should be clear.

Thanks for reading.
