    On PC keyboard you can use the free camera ( 8 key plus arrow keys ) to " fly " to the coupler and click on it to couple/decouple. Then " 1 " key to return to the cab.

    If you have uncouple an ice
    On leipzig when you drive the ice you have to uncouple the rear ice . So do I have go to the other and do it or can stay where iam and with the keyboard that way. Also is there a key to unlock brake key on german trains.

    German trains with Schaku usually have a key to turn and then after that a button to press (both of those in the cab) and their ingame label when you hover over says something along the lines of "Uncouple". It's certainly like that in the Regio units, I don't remember the key in ICEs so perhaps just the button off the top of my head? Either way happens with cab controls, without needing to exit the train.

    Using [Ctrl and +] and [Ctrl and -] you can quickly swap cab ends. You may have to keep trying the buttons to get the the cab you want though - sometimes I disorient myself when I have 4 big US locos and then 2 at the rear.
