I had issues with Strobe because it would always change my gear setttings to auto/seq/manual because I would use Shift key for some reason and that meant Shift-G was being depressed all the time by mistake (G is default light switch which gets held down when strobes is running)
Solution:
I changed the default Lights switch in LFS to "Y" instead of G and made the light press in strobe to press Y instead of G. Shift-Y has no effects on LFS !
Also the first release of strobes didn't have CTRL or SHIFT or ALT set to toggle the horn ON/OFF so I found that one much better when using binds.
This helped me immensly because then only NumLock was necessary to use it. Hope it makes sense.
