9.12 How do I access autopilot settings from the keyboard?

Q:

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ACCESS AUTOPILOT SETTINGS FROM THE KEYBOARD? UNDER CUSTOM CONTROLS, YOU CAN ALLOCATE TWO KEYS TO HEADING, BUT NOT A WORD ANYWHERE IN THE MANUAL (IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT) OR THE HELP FILES CONCERNING SPEED, ALT, ETC. 

A:

Just hate playing around with a mouse at critical moments: have tried all sorts of combinations, but no luck so far. 

Z=AP on/off
Ctrl D=Yaw Dampers
Ctrl Z=Alt Hold
Ctrl H=Hdg Hold
Ctrl M=Mach hold
Ctrl V=Level Hold
Ctrl R=Speed(IAS) Hold
Ctrl A=APR engage/disengage
...not sure about the rest!

Pull down the Options-Custom Controls menu. Select the "Assignments" tab and you will find a list of all of the commands in the program with the keyboard equivalents included. Scroll down until you find the autopilot section and there is your answer. Joystick buttons can be assigned here also.
