Wolves of Steel: Four Bearing Question re: "Z" hotkey

[roccom]

I'm playing WoS and am trying to do real navigation and the four bearing method.

However, the tutorial video explains that you should spam the "Z" key to get the bearing readout, but in the mod that is the rig for silent running hotkey.

What is the command (mouse clicks) to have your hydrophone operator tell you the bearing of the locked contact?

Alternatively, I downloaded the mod to remap hotkeys, but I cannot figure out which actual *command* I'm looking for to map to a key, so the name of the command would also help.

(Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is the wrong place.)

The best solution is to change the keyboard by adding the following mod.
This mod makes a number of changes including the Z key giving instant hydrophone bearings in the message box.
Church's SHV 1.01 Keyboard Commands > Replaces The W-A-S-D Keys > Enable last inJSGME

You will need to make changes in the Options File Editor Viewer as there are duplication's that need to be allotted a new key.
I can help you with this if you wish to proceed.

Thanks, this was perfect. From installing the mod I learned that the shortcut I'm looking for is "report_nearest_sound_contact", so I can remap that on my own using the key mapper to a free key and leave the "z" key alone for silent running.

Appreciate your help!

But this does lead me to a different question: Is there a command to report *followed* target as opposed to *nearest* target? Or do I just need to get on the hydrophone myself for that?
