Fix for Elite Dangerous Function Keys not working

Function keys mapped in the Elite Dangerous mapping file such as “{F5}” for the Galaxy Map aren’t working. ED is sensitive to a quick key press vs held, especially for function keys. And, holding it on the tablet, doesn’t actually generate a longer key press.

A temporary workaround to get a longer key press use +1 to hold the key for 1 second. So change all the function keys similar to this: “+1{F5}”

In the next patch we’ll have a built in hold of 100ms for any key press, and you’ll be able to override this default, but in testing it seems to work reliably.

Also, I’ve added a default delay between keys of 10ms, as I’ve noticed some apps can’t react quick enough to the incoming keys if there’s no delay

Next patch is targeted for the end of March
