Add PTT Hold to Aether control . this is similar to the ptt hold for the keyboard shortcuts.
I think it would be really nice to click and hold the tune wheel for example and that be PTT; and it would stop tx automatically when released. (no need for the second press to toggle it off) this could also work with the "flexcontrol" device.
thanks,

Research direction
Start by locating the existing keyboard-shortcut PTT hold implementation and the Aether control handling for the tune wheel. Check how FlexControl input is represented, then define the hold and release behavior for both controls. Done means holding the selected control starts PTT and releasing it stops transmission without a second toggle press.
