Switch between manual and autopilot controls for WASD?

[true walrus]

All three sections of controls, WASD, arrow keys, and mouse, help controlling the ship in their own way. But we only have two hands to divide between three distinct positions. I propose a switch which upon engaging would turn WASD into the same autopilot controls as the arrow keys are right now.

Addendum: I do not ask this to replace the arrow keys autopilot controls completely, but be an additional way to control it.

So kinda like how KSP has a toggle where you swap translation with normal flight controls?

Made post in the feedback, without knowing that there's a separate Ideas channel.
Haven't played KSP, but it seems that the suggestion is in alignment with my own wish.
Basically two options in controls in game settings:

• current one
• one where a button allows to switch WASD/QE to control autopilot mode instead of manual
  Would free up a lot of key binds for potential internal equipment toggle, like MPUs.

It would be nice to have an option to have overlapping set of controls + toggle instead of two separate sets of keys each switching control mode.
