# Motivation #
I often use SkyDemon in environments, where there is not just a single cuise altitude necessary, but multiple level changes necessary during one single flight. Depending on i.e. weather changes (cloud base, ...) , I find myself a lot changing altitudes in the planning window. However, it seems to me quite difficult to quickly reset a leg to route level. This surely is not a great deal, if it's just a single leg. But resetting multiple legs can be a rather time-consuming process.

# Suggestion #
I suggest to add a shortcut to reset an altitude to route level by selecting the leg in the Virtual Radar, while holding down i.e. SHIFT, ALT or any not otherwise allocated modifier. Such a "<modifier> + click" shortcut would help a lot, be easy to implement and would not lead to many accidental uses in my opinion.

With kind regards‌

I appreciate the requirement, which (as I understand it) is a quicker way to restore a leg to route level than simply dragging the leg until it reaches that level.

Unfortunately the suggested solution of holding down a key will not work on tablets, therefore it wouldn't help a large percentage of users. It is also not very discoverable.
