There is a request by someone to have a key (or better a key combination) for fast dynamic brake release, like there is one for fast throttle release and one for fast air brake release.
Can this function be of interest for someone else? Could the key combination be Ctrl-, or Ctrl-D in case of combined control? And within the same job could also a key combination for fast locomotive brake release useful?

I would prefer if for a combined control CTRL+a (or an other combination) will reset the lever to zero from both sides (throttle and brake) without prior to watch or to think where the combined lever is standing.

For entering in a station I have to watch the distance-display in F10 windows, so I don't have time to read all control confirmations, and I am never sure on which position the lever actually is switched. The real driver feel this position in his hand.
It would be very practical to reset the lever from all positions to the middle-position without watching the levers position.
Depending of the Distance I can then again begin to switch on traction or brake force.

I'm interested me too. Also for locomotive brakes. As for throttle and train brake maybe using Ctrl-, and Ctrl+'.
