An open-source, cross-platform Driver Station...

Slightly off topic, but in terms of having the e-stop key mapped to the shift key, this seems (to me) like a really sensible thing to do given spat's explenation. Is there any reason why future offical driver stations can't re-map e-stop to the shift (or maybe have it on both space and shift for historical consistency)

Also, I'd like to raise a concern in that the keyboard mapped e-stop dosen't seem to work when connected to the FMS. Normally, this is not an issue as the FMS has e-stops. However I was doing some testing recently with some robots and FMS light, and through some combination autonomous became activated when it shouldn't have been. We then had a robot running wild, while I madly mashed the space bar. Thankfully no-one was injured.
