Hello Sean,
Glad to see you are back, just to give my two cents I agree on the following:
- multiple keys pressing should be avoided, moreover if you have to keep pressing for a given time to trigger tacking. If the two keys are next one to another you might press them by accident, if not you would need two hands. Not convenient.
- one key to enter "tacking mode" for a given time around 5s to press +1 or +10 would be fine. If "something" could blink and/or bip while the tacking mode is ON that would be great.
- as said in a previous thread I will personally never use an automated jibe function, I am using +10 keys and will probably stick to that
- as per +1/+10 slow/fast tacking i don't know...in my opinion tacking should always be as quick as possible for a given boat so i would stick to the current configuration (tacking speed in °/s I believe) (i.e. a heavy boat with a large genoa will require "slow" tacking whereas a lighter boat with self tacking genoa would allow faster tacking)
