What I would like to assign to the Control + Directional keys are the following actions.

Control + Left Arrow: Hard Left Rudder
Control + Right Arrow: Hard Right Rudder
Control + Up Arrow: Rudder Amidships
Control + Down Arrow: Set Heading to Current View

Since you can not steer the U-boat using the WASD keys I'd like to approximate these actions.

I have the N52TE keypad. With this you can place keys where ever the logical grouping might be. All of the keys assigned to looking around are in the WASD position. I have used up the key slots and would like to place the manual U-boat turning keys in the most logical place which would be over top of the other directionals. I don't ever use the slow turn which is Control + directional key.

I actually started re-assigning (without removing the default) all the directionals to use [, ], Home, End but am finding this isn't necessarily a good idea.
