    I, alike a lot of others have played Train Sim World since it's first iteration. With a lot of new trains coming it can be hard to find what keybindings do what. So here are my suggestions for new features to combat this.

    1) Tailored keybindings: When I am driving the 390, and want to find the hotkey for the speed set, I don't want to know what the keybinding is for releasing LZB/PZB on the german locos. This, with the introduction of steam locos, as well as the introduction of future locos from more countries, with more system is really making the keybindings option menu difficult to navigate. So it would be nice if I am driving the 390, I only get shown the hotkeys for the 390.

    2) If this previous is difficult, then a option which can be disabled or enabled in the options to show keybindings included in the popups which tell you what a switch or button is. Imagine the below being a label when I hover over AWS

    -------------------------
    | AWS Reset |
    | `Q` |
    -------------------------
    or if the keybinding popup is disabled (like how it is now)
    -------------------------
    | AWS Reset |
    -------------------------

    That is a nice idea, but that would mean lots of and lots coding, which I don't see happening, that is why Q is the go-to alerter reset for almost every train including Sifa. The Actual Key to press to be shown is something that could have been done a long time ago, but now? And that Isd why I always relied on the Raildriver, but that also requires fixing in TSW5.

    I don't think it would be too much hassle. I would assume the key mappings for a certain train are already set out somewhere so would just be a case of transferring that to the controls menu. It's definitely doable it's just whether they have the man power as they probably have other stuff at a higher priority but for what its worth? I think would make a massive improvement to the usability.
