    In a yesterday's stream I watched, someone was able to change cabs without needing to walk to that other cab. Just using a combination of keys. This was in xbox and I was wondering if there was a key for that on PC.

    Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

    Did you use the + on the number pad?

    It is definitely CTRL - and CTRL + and I use them often.

    The keys are Ctrl and either of the keys I've highlighted in red. (yes that's my keyboard. It's lovely. Would be even better if it weren't bolted to a laptop ;) )

    Thanks, everyone! :)
    (The keys are CTRL and - (minus) for me at least)

    It's both. CTRL - swaps between sets of cabs and CTRL + swaps between cabs within the same set. So for example, on Sandpatch Grade with a 2 + 2 locomotive setup, CTRL + will cycle through the cabs on the front end of the train, CTRL - will swap between the head-end and the DPUs, and then you can use CTRL + again to switch between DPU cabs.

    And similar to the topic CTRL+0 will teleport you back to the cab, which can also come handy.

    Actually, on the note of key combos, how do you select the head-out cam? I know you press 3 on the underground sections on Bakerloo, but what about other routes?

    I'm not sure if there is a key to go to this view directly, but I know you can usually go to it by pressing "right arrow" or "left arrow" repeatedly until you get to the view (this has to be done while you are in the "1" view).

    If you are using a Hungarian keyboard (but i guess you aren't using a HUN keyboard) You have to press CRTL + รณ

    It supposes to work, I have been using it all the time. Also just make sure before you change your cab to not put the brake on emergency otherwise you won't be able to move the train going back out.
