If we can program keys for certain functions, what are your preferences

[I'm goin' down]

Necessity is the mother of invention. I am convinced either me or someone else will generate a program that allows hotkeys to combine functions not presently in SH4. Keymapper, according to jimimadrid, will not create a program for functions not existing in the game. Setkeys will. However, Setkeys is set up for SH3 and not SH4. Irish as indicated he will take a shot at converting it. Unfortunately, it does not come with any sort of tutorial that I can find. I have downloaded AutoHotkey to see if that might work. I joined a forum for AutoHotkey, as my first attempt at a simple script screwed up my "spacebar," so I deactivated the program so I could use my keyboard. Every time I hit the space bar, I would go directly to the Google home page. (ha, ha, ha!) With such an illustrious beginning the future looks dim re my success. However, I know more know than yesterday, and you never can tell.... (Maybe I am a repressed Bill Gates/Steve Jobs combo? Okay IGD, get real.)

So, I invite everyone to list the functions they would like to add to the keyboard they would like to add to SH4. If someone figures out how to program it, they will have a list. My main ones are:

1. Open all six four or six forward torpedoe tubes in one keystroke.
2. Open all aft torpedoes tubes in one keystroke.
3. Close all torpedoe tubes in one keystroke.
4. Crash dive to Periscope Depth;
5. Level the submarine off after submerging;
6. TC to search speed (say 1500 TC)
7. TC to maximum.
8. Set both the deck gun team and anti aircraft team to Battle Stations and to fire at will in one keystroke.
9. Fire a salvo of two torpedoes with predesignated spread.
10. Fire a salvo of three torpedpes with a predesignated spread.
11. Some new search patterns.
12. Open the Ship I.D. booklet when you have identified the target.

Any others? Fire away...
