Move and rotate arm & sci instruments on rover directly with numpad keys
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Working with a rover arm and equipment becomes tedious after a while as one must switch between what the WASD controls: the wheels, Mast, arm and tools.

Would it be possible to map arm and tool controls to numpad keys? I.e.,

8/2: arm up/down; 4/6: arm left rigth; 7/9: rotate tools left-right, 1-3 tilt tools forward/backward; 0: arm return to a home position; 5 tool rotate to home position.

Where one could mark a certain arm/tool position as home, and by pressing 5, the rover automatically returns the arm/tool to that position. Pressing it again stops such action.
