    Not the most important feature suggestion, I'm sure (and I don't know if anyone actually reads these); but I've noticed that, if you continually press the deadman reset button, the deadman reset alert will still function and be set off. This would mean that you can map a footswitch so you can use it as a somewhat realistic deadman switch; were it not that the alerter button (for confirming signal alerts) and the deadman are mapped together (they share the same keybind).

    So, yeah. I'd like them to be seperated please :p

    I don't really care about using a footswitch but I do think it is odd that the options are mapped together. I know you can turn them on seperately and disable the alert seperately but I'd like seperate keys for this anyway. Feels odd that these options are shared.

    I have a nasty feeling that this restriction is based on the limited button mapping functions of an XBox 360 controller, hence the keyboard get needlessly 'nerfed' just to keep it simple.
