i'm noticing that the newest keybinds added in the december patch... i need you to trigger them twice the first time i use them to get the switch in the cab to operate, after the first trigger they will respond immediately. 

This is annoying for the switches that are toggle switches or rotary ones, as i have moved my 3D printed switches and nothing happened, then when i move them back it triggers the function... but now my switches are reversed. 

This would be a lot better if we had dedicated on and off key binds for every switch that is a toggle or rotary switch in the trains... like the original cab light switch keybind has.

What key/switch behaves like that for example? I tried some added in that commit and they worked fine on my end. Their implementation also looks the same at a glance.

The latest keybind additions that have only one action...  the ones that you trigger the keybind once to turn the toggle switch on, and trigger the same keybind to turn the toggle switch off. 

So in the EP08-001 with the 5 individual toggle switches for the headlights, it does this with me for the headlight and tail light switches, also the left hand cab light switch does thas, as does the high current switch... first press does nothing, second press moves the switch and it responds fine after that. 

it does this from my keyboard as well as my switch panels, all the old single action keybinds work from the first trigger. 

:

It would be really nice to have all 2 position switches (toggle and rotary ones) to have a seperate keybind for on and off, like we have for the pantograph switches etc,  
Then in the keybind setup menu, if you set both the on and off triggers to the same key, you then get the switch changing position for each press of that single key. 

This is mostly of use to people using button boxes, switch panels and controllers with 2 position switches, so if the real switch is in the wrong position to the one in the sim, changing the real switch position will sync the real switch to the sim's switch position, 
With a single keybind for on and off, changing the real switches position moves the switch in the sim to the other position... and is still the wrong position for the real switch, if that makes sense.

i've reset all my keybinds, as somehow i had something stopping the fast move function moving for the power wheel and shunt levers. 

I've still got the need to press the 'new' keybinds twice to get them to react initially, i have noticed in the EP08-001 the headlight switches respond to the first press, 
the tail lights, high power and 'overall light' switches do not tho,  they definitely need a double press to get them initially working.
