Voice Attack - Still no way to force/reset location in left/right tabs so VA can control them?

[Tentacle Love]

My saitek x52 has a pinkie switch that resets the view to the center, I think the default binding for it is left shift.

You can try binding that to right before anything relevant. That might be a duct tape solution.

i never though of the fact the menu resets on each jump... ill have to make my dedicated jump button trigger LEFTPANEL=0

explains why i always have to reset my nav panel on landings, since the loadscreen was offputting my variable

No, it doesn't. All you need to do is get into the habit of, is when you access either the Left or Right panels exit them on your chosen "Home" Tab, be this Nav for the Left Panel & Status for the Right.

This is what I do. Works like a charm.

FWIW, I just wanted to throw out there that VA can share hotkey presses with your game. Uncheck the hotkey option, 'do not allow key press to be passed through' and what is pressed in ED will be detected in VA (set/reset variables or whatever).

I have an extensive set of VA macros that allow direct access to each tab. I never enter a keystroke into any tab that affects the macros with the exception of the Modules tab. So, I make it a point to always leave the Modules tab on the first module in the list so that my Modules macros work correctly. As an example, I have a macro called "Contacts" that brings up the Contacts page. I've probably created about 40 or more macros to do whatever I need that isn't handled by the HOTAS - landing gear, lights, supercruise, hyperspace, docking request, shield recharge, chaff, galaxy map, system map, etc. Some of the macros like Navigation, Contacts, and Status are also tied to a HOTAS button since I use them so often. The only problem I have occasionally is that ED changes the menus without user input. So, I added a set of correct macros that allows me with a single voice command to correct them. For example, if I say "Modules" but the Functions page is shown, then I say "Correct Functions" and the macro corrects the variables and switches to the Modules page. Some of the macros perform heavy duty power management on my Vulture so that I'm able to run the Vulture at 133% power. I should also mention that I use a reset macro when I'm docked to initialize everything. "Reset Vulture" and "Reset Python" since my initialization is a little different depending on the ship I'm flying at the moment.

I like the idea of the "correct [tab]" command, the way you thought to have it correct the variable AND go back to the original window you called by voice.
absolutely brilliant.
my solution was "set [tab]", which only corrects the variable to the current window. I then have to recall the window I originally wanted.
I have not done much with the modules yet, but have also set it up to go from any tab to any tab by voice.

i have variable resets in many locations, like when boosting you know you have to have gear and scoop up etc.

would you mind swapping VA files so i can pick your brain?
