Feature Request: add command and dataref for "Use WASD keys" option (needs to be turned off for interaction with other plugins)

Plugins which require keyboard input (such as FlightFactor's Airport Visual System AVS to enter airport ICAO codes) are blocked from receiving WASD key inputs while "Use WASD keys" option is enabled. Temporarily disabling that option makes the other plugins usable again.

I looked through all commands and datarefs but the option does not seem to be controllable from outside the dialog.

Use cases:

  • If there was a command to toggle that function, it could be quickly enabled/disabled by a key/button press.
  • If there was a dataref (readable and writable) it could also be controlled with a specific target value from scripts, thus allowing the option to be disabled while a plugin window like AVS is open and reenabled when closed.
    • read-only together with a command would also be sufficient as a script could figure out current state and just toggle it if the opposite state is needed

It would be nice if this could be added in a future release, so the user settings dialog does not need to be interacted with two times every time a plugin needs blocked input.

Thanks for an amazing addon, so far. :)
