Short and sweet:
There are shortcut keys to have drones engage a target, return and orbit, and return to the drone bay, but none to launch drones. I propose that a shortcut option be added to launch drones.

Wouldn't work since some people like carrier pilots carry many diffrent types. How would the hot key know what ones to launch.

So I've got a Domi, and it's carrying five groups of drones - sentries, heavies, mediums, lights, and medium ECM. Which group does the shortcut launch, and why?

Good points - I'd forgetten about that :) Most of the time I carry just one type with me, but there have been times when I've had several different types of drones with me and had to go through the folder/folders to select specific drones to launch.
While I really wanted to keep the idea simple... perhaps it would be possible to add several basic, generic launch shortcut keys - such as launch scouts, launch heavies, launch reppers... (I'm being very generic here sorry!)
And suddenly a simple idea becomes more complicated... sigh... :)

What about creating "Launch Drone Group X" shortcuts? That way, you define your groups the way you want and bind the launching of those groups separately. There would need to be a way to assign your groups to one of idk, five, group numbers so they could be bound. It wouldn't be perfect, but it would be better than being forced to use the drone window.

Yeah I thought about that too. Lets say that instead of having arbitrary groups, we have a set number, like 5 or 10, and make binds for those. Maybe drone groups could be saved with a fitting, so that you could have different groups for each ship, but the binds would still work. Then its to the pilot to make sure that their group 1 drones are all combat, group 2 are all ecm, etc... Again, not perfect, but better than nothing.

*sighs* k you guys are making this far too complicated, will support when you change to this --> Make new tabs, for launchable drones (just like folders you can ALREADY make) i Have mine setup as hammers, hobs, heavys, reppers, shields, and ecm exactly like that. Have CCP implement Launch group Alpha (Or A or One idc) then put drones in these folders and have hotkeys for these premade folders. Put whatever drones you plan on useing in these folders. Problem solved

Supported, with the ability to add shortcut keys to certain drone groups. As an Ishkur pilot, it's very annoying to have to quit manually flying so that I can recall my warriors and launch my ECM drones.
Maybe one could right click a drone group in-flight and select an option that says "assign shortcut" or something like that.

+1 with a catch. Right now you only can put a drone in one of your groups so if you want to adapt to your enemy and want to launch eg. 2 light 1 med and 2 ecm drones you have to manually select them and launch. There should be an extra tab in drone interface were launch groups can be defined and shortkeys for them set.

A option for a default group + shortcut to launch would be great.
