Hello! First of all, thanks to the developers for their hard work. It's so nice to be able to use a PC for radar navigation instead of the slow, outdated and expensive plotter that I have from Garmin. One thing I would love to see in a future build is the possibility to use the keyboard to control certain things.

For example: ARROW_UP/ARROW_DOWN would increase/decrease the VRM and ARROW_LEFT/ARROW_RIGHT would increase/decrease EBL. +/- would increase/decrease the range

It's currently quite clumsy to set a VRM/EBL when you have to click around on the screen to find the values you want.

Sounds good, but this might not be so easy as it is OpenCPN that gets the keys and the radar windows aren't modal, so I am not sure that the plugin is able to "grab" keys... Maybe if the PPI window is "floating"?
