We could use the star area for something else like a radio contact light.

Yes, but the keys chosen, "'" and "/" (not on the numeric pad) are weird, especially with a non US keyboard... Any chance to be able to remap the hotkeys ?

Status: offline 		As you may have noticed when pressing the K key, we get to use just about every key on the keyboard for something. When we got to increase and decrease there wasn't much left on that side of the keyboard. ' and / works well for me being left handed. Being in the US those keys are on the lower right, next to enter and shift.

You could try a free program autohotkey that works well for me in other games.

They are in the same place here in the UK, as well... at least on my UK Dell.
