Removing the currently unused keybindings for [Shift]I used
for cycling of HUD types. Also remove this from the help
dialog.
May be re-added for the next release, but currently there is
no HUD-type cycling implemented.

work again. These options now write properties in the
/environment/config/presets
branch. The values will be applied in the property-rules
in FGDATA/Environment/interpolator.xml
Corresponds to commit e86cecf4704a4bdcf43114245d8ac94adb1f1eef
in fg/next
At the moment this dialog simply misleadingly states that we are not
tuned to any ATC service regardless of the radio settings, so better
to disable it for the release.

add more : keyboard shortcuts
Note that this key does sometimes fail to work. This is caused by the
way our keyboard works ATM. On an (US)English keyboard : and ; are on
the same key. If you do Press-Shift >> Press-: >> Release-Shift -> Release-:
then not the ':' is released, but the ';'. The ':' remains registered as
pressed, so the next press fails. Another press restores the function.
We fixed this for the letter keys, as it is safe to assume that 'a' and
'A' are on the same key. Unfortunately, we can't make such assumptions
for non-letter keys. We should really track the HW-key numbers, not
the symbols printed on them!
dialog when one actually wanted to switch virtual desktops. There's no need
for a keyaboard shortcut, as the dialog is available from the menu and not
needed that often.
1) The chat menu will now select the runway closest to the aircraft
when the aircraft is on the ground, or very low (< 100ft). This
handles the case where the user has selected a runway explicitly,
e.g. 01R for KSFO take-offs for noise abatement. My thanks for
AnMaster for pointing this out on IRC. Note that above 100 ft, the
wind-appropriate runway will still be used.
2) Change to keyboard description for the - key, as pointed out by
Melchior.
- rename prop-key-handler.nas to prop_key_handler.nas (the hyphens were
intentional, exactly to *make* using it as namespace less inviting,
but times change ...)
- add property browser binding to the '/'-key for when the property key handler
is turned off (/sim/input/property-key-handler=0). If it's on, use /: or
/<property>: to open the browser.
- run keyboard event listener only when property key handler is active
I hope that the '/' key can keep this binding even after a keyboard review.
The '/' is just the most natural key for dealing with properties, and it's
far less prominent on non-US-keyboards (e.g. Shift-7 on German keyboards),
so it's not really very well suited for important aircraft functions, anyway.
But I don't insist. :-)
other than Shift-SPACE or SPACE alone). The move to Shift-Enter was bad,
as all Return combinations are filtered by open dialogs with <default>
set. SPACE remains reserved for communication functions (PTT), though, and
the property browser will be moved away if more combinations are needed for it.
- some comments in the file head
- move "fire starter" from SPACE-key to s-key
- move "open property browser" from Shift-SPACE to Shift-Enter (Shift-Return)
- implement PTT on SPACE/Shift-SPACE (with the other six SPACE/modifier
combinations unused, apart from a popup)
- add controls.ptt(v) wrapper function (v can be 1 or 2 for on, and 0 for off)
Easter-Egg:
- pressing the t-key for at least one second resets the warp delta.
This is an experimental feature that most people won't notice. It's meant
for investigating if suchlike "unorthodox" key use is acceptable. While
modifier-keys are the norm on computer keyboards, modifier-times aren't,
although we are used to them from other devices, such as alarm clocks etc.)
May later get removed without warning.
wrapper call
mf: I didn't find a trace of that /autopilot/controls-overrides/ property
in the fgfs source code and most of the data package. There are regular
complaints in the IRC channel about numpad keys 9 & 3 not working.
