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.
