Keyboard command keys should apply to Route blips

As of now, using the keyboard command keys (ex. "S" to 'warp to') on the square blips in the "Route" section at the top left does nothing. This makes it a bit of a struggle to warp out in 2 situations:

1) Station undocking. Without knowing exactly what will show up in the overview upon undocking - unless you've planned it out before hand - it's impossible to guarantee an instant warp out. You must right-click the blip and select your option. This might seem like a non-issue, but that extra 1 second can make all the difference if 2 interdictors are trying to jam anyone exiting the low-sec station you're in.

2) Quick warp-outs. If I'm battling 8 rats in low-sec and a human pirate jumps in, it may require some scrolling/searching to find the correct entry to warp to (even if it's routed and thus "yellow"). Sometimes it may not even appear in the current overview tab you're using. Thus using the next waypoint in the route becomes the obvious choice. The 1 second you lose having to right click can, again, be all the difference.


Overall my point is this: It would be much simpler, in all situations, to be able to set my desired "exit spot" as my first waypoint, and to be able to always rely on quick keyboard commands to activate it.

Please update so using keyboard commands works in the "Route" section.
