Add hotkey for the "broadcast" switch on the UAV toolbar #14

Closed ntamas closed 2 years ago

ntamas commented 2 years ago

Experience from last night's show: it would be very convenient to assign a hotkey to the "broadcast" switch on the UAV toolbar. Right now the easiest way to broadcast a "flash lights" signal (which is very useful to test whether the communication is good to all drones) is to use the mouse to toggle the broadcast switch, then the keyboard to press W to toggle the "flash lights" command. It would be much more convenient with B W, or maybe Cmd-B W (Ctrl-B W on Windows). I'm slightly leaning towards the Cmd-B variant to toggle the switch because it makes it harder to accidentally turn on broadcast mode (Cmd and B are relatively far away on the keyboard).

I also vote for Cmd-B instead of pure B.
