    Is there any way to increase the timeout value on the KYBD feature for the CDU? For me, it's just a bit too short.

      I completely agree. I’d actually prefer if there were no timeout at all. I’d also really like the option to rebind the “Enter” key so it doesn’t exit keyboard mode, but instead confirms the current entry and lets you move straight to the next waypoint. That way the entire flight plan could be entered in one go without interruptions or extra clicks.

        Agree. Even if it could be set to need another click on the screen to exit. It’s tough to get a plan entered with the keyboard and in a lot of ways, it’s easier to use the 9 key from my streamdeck instead of using the keyboard.

          I am definitely in for a longer lasting kbd entry time or a no timeout (need to click outside the CDU screen) option.

          Or is there a way to mod this?

            I've figured that it's possible to change the timeout directly in the gauge code, simply open it with any text editor:

            MSFS\Community\bksq-aircraft-starship\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\bksq-aircraft-starship\CDU\CDU.js
            

            Update variable value, line 377 (in the latest version), the default value is 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds)

            this.keyboardTimeoutInterval = 5000;
            

            Set it to any value you like and save the file, start MSFS.
