Keyboard and Button Commands

Most menu items can be bound to joysticks buttons or keyboard shortcuts

LiveTraffic offers "commands" for the most important menu items. These "commands" show up in X-Planes configuration screens for Joystick and Keyboard asignments. All of them are grouped under the top-level category "LiveTraffic".

Menu Item	Command	Description
Aircraft Info...	Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Open	Opens an aircraft information window
Aircraft Info... (Popped out)	Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Open_Popped_Out	Opens a popped out aircraft information window (separate OS-level window)
Aircraft Info shown	Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Hide_Show	Hides/Shows all aircraft information windows, but does not close
Close All Windows	Aircraft_Info_Wnd/Close_All	Closes all aircraft information windows
Aircraft displayed	Aircrafts/Display	Starts/Stops display of live aircraft
TCAS controlled	Aircrafts/TCAS_Control	TCAS Control: Tries to take control over AI aircraft
Labels shown	Aircrafts/Toggle_Labels	Toggle display of labels in current view

In XP11 the description is shown as the text to select in the configuration dialogs. In XP10 the command is shown as selection option, the description only shows up once a command is selected. (See below)

All commands are executed on key/button down event only, i.e. just once, no matter how long you press a key or button.

Assignment in XP11

Keyboard

Go to X-Plane's settings for Keyboard. See here for X-Plane's manual on using the settings dialog. You find the LiveTraffic commands most easily when selecting Plugin Provided:

LiveTraffic's commands in X-Plane's Keyboard settings

Assigned keyboard shortcuts appear on the menu next to the respective menu item, which helps remembering them.

Joystick Button

Similarly, when assigning joystick buttons (see here for X-Plane manual) you can refer to the very same commands in the right hand command selection:

Assignment in XP10

Keyboard

In X-Plane 10 the user interface looks different, but the same functionality is available. See here the manual on the Keys settings. The trick for accessing plugin-provided commands is to press the little button indicated by the red arrow in the following screenshot:

X-Plane 10 Keys Settings: Where to click for plugin-provided commands

Doing so opens another dialog, in which you select the "LiveTraffic" set of commands (just the main entry "LiveTraffic" is best) and click [Open]:

X-Plane 10: Set of LiveTraffic commands

After that, you'll be returned to the assignment dialog (first screenshot) and you can select from the LiveTraffic commands for keyboard assignment.

Joystick

Go to the "Buttons: Adv" tab in X-Plane's settings. From there you have access to the very same set of commands as shown above for the key assignment. And the same trick applies: Click the indicated button for accessing LiveTraffic's set of commands.
