Something Eric asked me about recently, combined with another thing I noticed regarding the E-challenge, makes me want to do a quick update.
Eric's suggestion is a keypress to cycle the F9 to F12 status screens.
My answer is something like a /status command.
How about:
/status [none/F9/F10/F11/F12/next/prev]
So for Eric's request you would assign to an F key (and wheel button) the following text command:
/status next
How it relates to E-Challenge: on
this thread there are some scripts designed to make it easy to set pit instructions to change tyres, when conditions change to wet or dry.
But it is possible for these scripts to go wrong if you aren't careful as they rely on the starting conditions being correct. This is because they use left and right arrow key presses, which change things (e.g. tyres) relative to the current value.
They go into or out of the status screens with commands like /press F12 (which also has the problem that F12 is a toggle, so if you are already in that screen you would exit the screen instead of entering it.
So I was thinking this could be better if there were some very positive commands that don't rely on the current setting.
I was thinking of a command /pitreq, that could work like this:
/pitreq ftyre R2
/pitreq repair yes
/pitreq cancel
/pitreq rcamber -2
I hope you get the idea and I just thought I'd put that out there as I hope to do a quick job on it, and maybe someone thinks of something I haven't thought of.
I think the following /pitreq options are needed, though it's not fully considered yet.

fcamber_l (aka fcamber if symmetrical)
fpressure_l (aka fpressure if symmetrical)
