Keyboard binding for feathering?

Any chance we can a way to assign a key press for feathering an engine? I'd like to assign a way for my throttle quadrant to feather the prop when I move the condition lever to the feather position. When an engine fails, the last thing I want to do is hunt around with the mouse trying to feather the prop.
Thanks,
Bill

The control commands for prop feathering are as follows. The first command is for the control lever, the second is for the prop blades:
Code: Select all
Left Prop Feathered:
1 (>L:Prop1_Feathered,bool) -1 (>K:PROP_PITCH1_SET)
Left Prop Unfeathered:
0 (>L:Prop1_Feathered,bool) 0 (>K:PROP_PITCH1_SET)
Right Prop Feathered:
1 (>L:Prop2_Feathered,bool) -1 (>K:PROP_PITCH2_SET)
Right Prop Unfeathered:
0 (>L:Prop2_Feathered,bool) 0 (>K:PROP_PITCH2_SET)

Unless someone has changed it, yes. I saw no reason to re-invent the wheel for the Baron...

Bill,
thanks for providing these commands, but I don't have a clue how to use these
