I know I'm not the only flight sim enthusiast that has a throttle quadrant or other button box that has a specified Landing Gear toggle. I also have a toggle that would be perfect for hardpoints. I'm wondering if these button commands in the options will ever have a toggle function like the cargo scoop that would allow me to use my toggles as intended instead of only a button press option. It would definitely add to the immersion in my opinion.
Discussion Toggle hardpoints and landing gear?

I'm using an AHK (AutoHotkey) script for that. Reads the joystick toggles and ED's Status.json, triggers keyboard keypresses to switch Hardpoints and Cockpit Mode.
It's not perfect - sometimes, the toggle doesn't work on the first try, but I haven't yet gone through the trouble of finding out when/why this happens. It's good enough for me as it is. The same (or very similar) should be possible with any other of the common scripting programs - VoiceAttack is very popular with ED players, for example.

I'll definitely look into that, but I still think it'd be nice to have it in the game options for less hassle and issues. It just seems to me that since they have the option for some commands to be press or hold that they should add the same functionality to some of the other commands, with these 2 being the first I'd like to see added, particularly since more and more throttle quadrants are being made with landing gear toggles as well as several other toggles.
