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

## 2026-07-26 (last) — the keyboard becomes the button board (RP412 bindings port)
|
||||
|
||||
User decision: port RP412's bindings design and make it the DEFAULT (not an opt-in alternate),
|
||||
plus a BT-flavoured interactive controls page.
|
||||
|
||||
**The layout.** Letter and number rows = the MFD banks laid out where they sit on the panel;
|
||||
flight to the numpad so the board stays free; F1-F12 = the map's two columns; G and B unbound as
|
||||
the physical gap between the lower clusters. Expressed in BT's OWN grammar (slew/deflect/set,
|
||||
the Turn channel) -- the bindings.txt format is a compatibility surface and was not touched.
|
||||
|
||||
Coverage audit: **61 of 72 addresses on the keyboard**, and the 11 absent ones are exactly the
|
||||
addresses with no authored function (0x16/0x17/0x1E/0x1F, 0x38-0x3E). 0x19 is bound (F8) purely
|
||||
for column completeness. All 72 stay clickable on the panel.
|
||||
|
||||
The scheme lands on BT's addresses unreasonably well: 1-4 + QWER are the whole 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 1995 typed-hotkey channel, and this board
|
||||
binds nearly everything -- so 5 (Quad), z (Eng1), t/y/u/i/o (pilot select) and +/- (zoom) go.
|
||||
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, so the view-toggle and preset-cycle polls stand down for them
|
||||
(they poll GetAsyncKeyState directly and would otherwise have fired BOTH). View toggle lives on
|
||||
BACKTICK alone.
|
||||
|
||||
**CONTROLS.MAP mirrored** so glass/pod/dev still feel identical (the 2026-07-21 settlement):
|
||||
90 bindings, 0 parse complaints under BT_INPUT_LOG.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hat labels: 0x42 is TORSO CENTER [T1]
|
||||
INPUT_PATH_AUDIT flagged 0x41-0x44 as mislabelled. Settled from the streamed mapping
|
||||
(BT_CTRLMAP_LOG): `elem 66 -> subsys 17 attrID 14` = the TORSO subsystem, while 0x44/0x43/0x41 go
|
||||
to the mapper's look trio (attrID 10/11/12 = LookLeft/LookRight/LookBehind). The .RES itself has
|
||||
no "TORSO CENTER" string -- its names are LookBehind/Down/Forward/Left/Right -- so the audit's
|
||||
wording was loose but its substance right. Swept L4GLASSWIN / L4PADPANEL / L4VB16.
|
||||
|
||||
### The controls page
|
||||
`docs/CONTROLS.html` -- interactive keyboard (hover any key for its address and meaning, with the
|
||||
MFD clusters outlined), pad diagram, panel map, the under-glass press-target figure, the radar
|
||||
placement thumbnails, and the environ.ini table. Modelled on RP412's page, rewritten for BT's
|
||||
addresses and hazards (the coolant-valve detent warning, jams and ammo-bay fires, BASIC control
|
||||
mode). mkdist wraps the fragment in a doctype/charset shell and ships it beside CONTROLS.txt.
|
||||
|
||||
### Verified
|
||||
- bindings.txt regenerates and loads: 74 keys, 0 parse errors; CONTROLS.MAP 90 bindings, 0 errors.
|
||||
- 72/72 panel addresses still dispatch on click.
|
||||
- surround / exploded / dock / pod / dev: boot + simulate, zero faults.
|
||||
- Dist carries CONTROLS.txt + a 46 KB CONTROLS.html with doctype and charset.
