The keyboard becomes the button board (RP412 bindings port) + a controls page

Browse Source 
Ported RP412's bindings design and made it the DEFAULT: the letter and number
rows are the MFD button banks laid out WHERE THEY SIT ON THE PANEL, flight
moves to the numpad so the board stays free, F1-F12 are the map's two columns,
and G/B stay unbound as the physical gap between the lower clusters.  Expressed
in BT's OWN grammar (slew/deflect/set, the Turn channel) -- bindings.txt is a
documented compatibility surface and was not touched.

Coverage: 61 of 72 addresses on the keyboard, and the 11 absent ones are
exactly those the pod never wired (0x16/0x17/0x1E/0x1F column gaps, 0x38-0x3E
intercom/door).  All 72 stay clickable on the panel.

It lands on BT's addresses unreasonably well: 1-4 + QWER are the ENTIRE coolant
system (Condensers 1-6, flush, balance), F6/F7 the display and control-mode
cycles, F9-F12 Generators A-D, F4 the crouch button reconstructed earlier
today.

THE DELIBERATE COST.  A bound key is removed from the authentic 1995
typed-hotkey channel so it cannot double-dispatch, and this board binds nearly
everything -- so 5 (Quad page), z (Eng1), t/y/u/i/o (pilot select) and +/-
(target zoom) are given up.  Unbind a key to get its 1995 meaning back.
Documented in the file header, the markdown and the page.

NEW RULE: A BINDINGS ROW WINS OVER A BUILT-IN CONVENIENCE KEY
(PadRIO::KeyHasBinding).  V and J/K/L are board buttons now, and those polls
read GetAsyncKeyState directly -- without this they would have fired BOTH the
button and the built-in.  View toggle lives on BACKTICK alone.

CONTROLS.MAP rewritten to mirror the board so glass/pod/dev still feel
identical (the 2026-07-21 settlement): 90 bindings, 0 parse complaints.

HAT LABELS CORRECTED [T1].  INPUT_PATH_AUDIT flagged 0x41-0x44 and was right.
Settled from the streamed mapping (BT_CTRLMAP_LOG): elem 66 -> subsys 17
attrID 14, i.e. 0x42 is the TORSO subsystem, not a look; 0x44/0x43/0x41 are the
mapper's LookLeft/LookRight/LookBehind (attrID 10/11/12).  The .RES has no
"TORSO CENTER" string -- its names are LookBehind/Down/Forward/Left/Right -- so
the audit's wording was loose but its substance correct.  Swept L4GLASSWIN,
L4PADPANEL and L4VB16.

docs/CONTROLS.html: interactive keyboard (hover a key for its address and
meaning, MFD clusters outlined), pad diagram, panel map, the under-glass
press-target figure, radar placement thumbnails and the environ.ini table --
modelled on RP412's page, rewritten for BT's addresses and hazards.  mkdist
wraps the fragment in a doctype/charset shell and ships it beside CONTROLS.txt.

Verified: bindings.txt regenerates and loads (74 keys, 0 errors); CONTROLS.MAP
90 bindings, 0 errors; 72/72 panel addresses still dispatch; surround /
exploded / dock / pod / dev boot and simulate with zero faults.

## THE KEYBOARD IS THE BUTTON BOARD — new default keymap (2026-07-26) [T2]
Ported from RP412's bindings design (user decision: make it the DEFAULT, not an alternate). The
letter and number rows are the MFD button banks **laid out where they sit on the panel**, and
flight moves to the NUMPAD so the board stays free:
| Keys | Bank |
|---|---|
| `1 2 3 4` / `Q W E R` | Heat / coolant 0x2F-0x2C / 0x2B-0x28 |
| `5 6 7 8` / `T Y U I` | Engineering (Mfd2) 0x27-0x24 / 0x23-0x20 |
| `9 0 - =` / `O P [ ]` | Comm / target hotbox 0x37-0x34 / 0x33-0x30 |
| `A S D F` / `Z X C V` | Left Weapons (Mfd1) 0x0F-0x0C / 0x0B-0x08 |
| `H J K L` / `N M , .` | Right Weapons (Mfd3) 0x07-0x04 / 0x03-0x00 |
| `F1`-`F6` / `F7`-`F12` | the map's two columns 0x10-0x15 / 0x18-0x1D |
| numpad | 8/2/4/6 stick, 7/9 pedals, 5 all-stop, 0/1/3/. the four fire buttons |
| `Shift`/`Ctrl` · `Alt` · arrows · `` ` `` | throttle lever · reverse · look/torso-centre · view |
`G` and `B` stay unbound — the physical gap between the lower clusters. **Coverage: 61 of 72
addresses on the keyboard, and the 11 absent ones are exactly those with no authored function**
(0x16/0x17/0x1E/0x1F column gaps, 0x38-0x3E intercom/door). All 72 remain clickable.
It lands on BT's addresses better than it deserves to: `1-4`+`QWER` are the ENTIRE coolant system
(Condensers 1-6, flush, balance), `F6`/`F7` the display/control-mode cycles, `F9`-`F12` Generators
A-D, `F4` the crouch button.
⚠ **What it costs, deliberately.** A bound key is removed from the authentic 1995 typed-hotkey
channel to stop double-dispatch, and this board binds nearly everything — so `5` (Quad page), `z`
(Eng1), `t/y/u/i/o` (pilot select) and `+`/`-` (target zoom) are given up. Unbind a key to get its
1995 meaning back.
⚠ **New rule: a bindings row WINS over a built-in convenience key** (`PadRIO::KeyHasBinding`).
`V` and `J/K/L` are board buttons now, so the view-toggle and preset-cycle polls stand down for
them and the view toggle lives on `` ` `` alone. Without this they would have fired BOTH.
`content/CONTROLS.MAP` was rewritten to mirror the board (90 bindings, 0 parse complaints) so the
glass/pod/dev boots still feel identical — the 2026-07-21 settlement. An existing `bindings.txt`
is never overwritten, so a player only meets this board by deleting theirs.
## Hat labels corrected — 0x42 is TORSO CENTER [T1, streamed mapping]
`docs/INPUT_PATH_AUDIT.md` flagged the 0x41-0x44 labels as wrong and it was right. Settled from
`BT_CTRLMAP_LOG`: **0x42 → subsys 17 (Torso), attrID 14** — not a look at all; the other three go
to the mapper's look trio (0x44 → attrID 10 LookLeft, 0x43 → 11 LookRight, 0x41 → 12 LookBehind).
The shipped `.RES` has no "TORSO CENTER" string (its names are LookBehind/Down/Forward/Left/Right),
so the audit's phrasing was loose but its substance correct. Swept the three UI tables
(`L4GLASSWIN`, `L4PADPANEL`, `L4VB16`): 0x42 is now "Torso Ctr", 0x41/0x43/0x44 "Look Bk/R/L".
## RGB keyboard lamp mirror — L4KEYLIGHT (2026-07-26) [T2 live, claimed a real board]
Ported from RP412 (itself vRIO's `KeyboardLampMirror`). Keys bound to a lamp address in
