Fortunately what you want is already possible in game, which works much nicer than a work around.
Use "SH3 SetKeys" (recommended) or Notepad to edit "data/cfg/Commands_en.cfg" and add keyboard shorcuts to the following entries. if you use Notepad only add the "key0=" line to your entry don't copy paste the rest of mine.

[Cmd431]
Name=Man_the_flak_gun
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F2D0003
Str=2945
Key0=0x46,s,"SHIFT F"

[Cmd433]
Name=Watch_crew
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F2D0005
Str=2947
Key0=0x57,s,"SHIFT W"

Now you can switch between your watch and flak crews with Shift-F and Shift-W. You should only need to set "Medium Range" and "Fire at Will" once with you mouse and it should stay on those settings. If you want to be sure its always "Medium Range" and "Fire at Will" when you press shift-F you could add shift-F at the same time to those commands as well:


[Cmd419]
Name=AAGuns_Fire_at_will
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F180006
Str=1063
Key0=0x46,s,"SHIFT F"

[Cmd422]
Name=AAGuns_Medium_range
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F180009
Str=1066
Key0=0x46,s,"SHIFT F"

Try it out in the Flak academy mission.
There are lots more of possibilities in Commands_en.cfg.

Thanks by the reply tekniq!
Yes, I already know about the possibility that Sh3 execute various keys functions at once, we already use them on some situations/mods, like uboat flags, pennants, etc. The example that I asked is just to have sure that your tool isn´t only for the WO issue, so a very good news , we now have a macro that works outside of SH3. I´m sure that someone will find more suitable situations for use it.
