Alt+P toggles all fuel pumps?

Laurreth

(TL;DR: default MSFS shortcut that apparently cannot be changed?)

I noticed a weird clicking sound when using Ctrl+Alt+P as a shortcut to take screenshots with an external program. After some looking around, I saw that all fuel pump switches toggled when using that shortcut. It turns out that Alt+P for some reason toggles the pumps, even though I have no keyboard input assigned to any "pump" binding, neither do I have anything bound to Alt+P that is remotely related.

What gives?

@laurreth Do you have any pump bindings assigned to keyboard or controller inputs? This isn't something that I've been able to reproduce but I have no pump assignments at all.

We use SimConnect to intercept the assignments and we are intercepting all the pump assignments on the 146. These are the assignments which trigger the setting of all four pump switches:

TOGGLE PUMP
SET PUMP
PUMP ON
PUMP OFF
TOGGLE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMPS
SET ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP

@martyn I really wish it were that simple :-D

In the input profile definition, I still have this gem that isn't represented in the interface:

		<Action ActionName="KEY_FUEL_PUMP" Flag="2">
			<Primary>
				<KEY Information="Alt">164</KEY>
				<KEY Information="p">80</KEY>
			</Primary>
		</Action>

Asoboooooooo!
