Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when I have to use my scroll wheel to input bugs/obs. I use trackIR so sometimes my head moves and then I zoom in/out and it just takes forever to go from 360 to 180 ect...

Describe the solution you'd like It would be very cool to have a mix between the NAV&COM and the Generic Toggle Button. Where someone can input a "SET" event instead of just the toggles, I personally am interested in these but im sure a lot more Events could also be utilized

VOR1_SET, VOR2_SET, ADF_SET, HEADING_BUG_SET and maybe KOHLSMAN_SET (aka 29.92)

Describe alternatives you've considered created a small add-on using https://github.com/hankhank10/MSFS2020-cockpit-companion to do this and works well but not as well as what I have seen with utilizing a stream deck.

This is an awsome add on by the way great work!!!

You can see that the NAV/COM button already has a bunch of function (ADF too). I don't know if we should make a generic NAV&COM button, or just add more functions to existing one.

Pros & Cons of adding to existing button: Pros:

  • Relatively easy to add new function in code
  • Simpler to use as all the constraints are built-in

Cons:

  • Less power to users
