Cannot Control E186 Direction Selector With Keyboard

[pschlik]

(This happens using the E186 in singleplayer or multiplayer, posting here to avoid clogging up multiplayer-specific issues.)

Every time I drive the E186, I notice that pressing the travel direction selector (forward)/(reverse) keybind doesn't actually change the selected direction of travel. The only way to set any direction (or neutral) is to use the mouse to click the direction buttons in the cab. It would be appreciated if the direction could be changed without the need to use the mouse.

I understand the E186 is a bit unusual with the direction buttons used in place of a direction lever, so custom behavior might be required. I would prefer a set up such that pressing the forwards keybind while in reverse would set the direction to neutral, then pressing again would set from neutral to forward. Then with the direction set forwards, pressing the reverse keybind could set the direction to neutral, and pressing reverse again would set the direction from neutral to reverse. That way, all 3 settings could be accessed from the two keybinds, and there is no need to add a third 'neutral' keybind.

I assigned key commands to buttons, but they won't work properly without third neutral command, as you can't flip from one to another without passing neutral. Will require custom mechanic in the future.
