Default Hotkeys for TDC commands (RE: changes in 1.3)?

In another thread regarding the changes for 1.3, I mused...

I'd like to minimize my scope time, and it definitely adds time to have to keep running the mouse up to the upper right corner to set the bearing, then switch the mode to range, then work the stadimeter, then move the mouse back to the upper right to transmit to TDC, etc.

If I could just [pg]-[up] to raise the scope, hit a key to run the stadimeter, hit a key to send to TDC (with voice comms, could program this key to saying "range, mark"), [pg]-[dn] to lower the scope...that'd be great.

With the above changes, this would be damn near EXACTLY how the real skippers did it. Up scope, "Bearing...mark", "Range...mark", down scope. Wait a few seconds, up scope, "Bearing...mark", "Range...mark", down scope. Estimate speed and heading.
...now, looking at the "commands.cfg", I DO see some commands that would be useful, here:

Quote:
[Cmd334]
Name=Set_TDC_bearing
Ctxt=1
[Cmd335]
Name=Set_TDC_target_range
Ctxt=1
...thing is, even with RFB installed, these do not appear to be mapped to anything.

Does anyone know if they work at all? And, hopefully, as I think we'd like?

It would seem if these commands worked properly, it would tie in with the new targeting method WONDERFULLY.
