Whiteboard

Yesterday and today I spent some time on implementing this and noticed that the key combination "Shift + ; " is already in use? Anyone an idea what the best key combination would be?
Carlo Santucci answering: Hi, nice that you are busy with it. However it's better that you discuss this here http://www.elvastower.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26990-fast-traction-cutoff/ : it's the right way to discuss (better than the whiteboard) and also a place where it's more likely you get answers.
29/7/15: beta version available on forum at above link. Instead of "Shift ;" the "Ctrl ;" combination has been used for fast brake release, and "Ctrl A" for fast throttle 0ing.
31/7/15: committed with release x.3208.
