c1a87b6 added G on the premise that a keyboard-only player could not reach the
control mode. That premise was WRONG, caught by the operator: I checked only
for `action ModeCycle` verbs and missed the CONSOLE BUTTON route.
content/bindings.txt:147 key F7 button 0x18
content/CONTROLS.MAP:136 key F7 button 0x18
0x18 IS CycleControlMode (context/pod-hardware.md:69), and it is wired:
MESSAGE_ENTRY(MechControlsMapper, CycleControlMode) ->
CycleControlModeMessageHandler -> CycleControlModeNow -- the same body the
gamepad Start and the pod console button drive. So F7 has always cycled the
mode from the keyboard, on BOTH keymaps. Every console button really is mapped.
Worse than redundant: CONTROLS.MAP:172 already binds `key G action Flush`, so
shipping G=ModeCycle in the glass default board would have made G mean different
things on the pod and on glass -- two populations with two sets of muscle memory,
which is precisely what the bindings-board migration exists to prevent.
Reverted from the shipped default template and from the local bindings.txt.
The torso-twist verification stands: the operator cycled modes and confirmed the
fix live; only the key used to do it was needlessly new.
