First of all, thank you for an amazing product that I would be completely lost without.

My question: Do users have the ability to add/assign keybinds or reassign existing keybinds for the map themes? Or rather, could they?

The reason I ask is because it borks all of my Stream Deck buttons every time the themes list gets updated and the keybinds get reassigned. (Based on a previous forum post, it seems like these keybinds were added specifically to support Stream Deck use in the first place.)

It seemed like previous LNM versions just assigned the keybinds to the first maps alphabetically. With that in place, I was able to get the various Google Maps into the keybind range. But in 3.0.6, the keybinds appear to be specifically assigned, mostly to maps I don't use. To use the Stream Deck for it, I have to do all sorts of multi-action gymnastics to select the themes I need. It is slow and disappointing to do that, especially on stream with an audience.

It would be ideal if I could make such assignments myself and bind the maps that are actually useful to me.

Again, thank you for all you do for flight sim.

You can add an element "<shortcut>" to the map themes you need. From the changelog of 3.0.6:

Quote

* Map theme shortcuts for included themes can now be defined in DGML file.
* Assigned shortcuts `Ctrl+Alt+0` to `Ctrl+Alt+7` for all default free included map themes. These do not change when adding additional themes.

See here for an example: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/blob/421431f1120f29dd4eb7a966c61340d3a559ced2/marble/data/maps/earth/opentopomap/opentopomap.dgml#L17

The shortcuts should not overlap with the ones used by the stock themes. These are fixed. Note that you need to use the latest 3.0.6 for this.
Previously it was assigned more or less randomly depending on installed user themes.

Ok. Will update.

Epic. So I tried to do this and didn't have permission to edit the dgml file. That's when I discovered that I had my Google maps installed into the deprecated data/maps/earth location. Moving those maps to a different folder resolved the issue. And this solution works great for my needs, thank you.

Should I expect to be able to add a shortcut for the Mapbox maps and the like, where I am encountering the same permissions issue? I guess I could try moving those maps to my folder but I don't want to create conflicts in the future if updates would just reinstall them to the data/maps/earth folder. Anyway, not a real crisis as I don't use these maps often. The <shortcut> command totally solves my actual issue with Google Maps bindings. Thanks again.

Actually I'm not sure this really solves my problem because it seems like my only options are to add Ctrl+Alt+8 and Ctrl+Alt+9, and I need three keybinds to solve my issue.

You can still install into any folder from the Zip files. This allows you to edit the shortcut of the stock maps or to remove them. Do not remove the OpenStreetMap since this is used as a fallback.

You mean install the entire application somewhere other than Program Files?

Yes. And use one of the Zip archives without installer: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/releases/download/v3.0.6/LittleNavmap-win64-3.0.6.zip

In contrast to the installer, you can change all the files there.
