Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea how far "Local" comms extends?
And..
Other than the [/r] and [Enter] keys, are there any more short cuts or easy access keys.
Could you for instance key your mic and make a local call to whoever is.. Well, local.. but without having to highlight them in the comms menu?
Regards
Dudley

I thought it was just system wide, but I may be wrong as haven't ever used it. I always use the Mobius Teamspeak channel - sorry.

AFAIK, local is not system wide but limited to the instance. So messages on local should be visible by everyone in the instance, but it seems to be buggy and sometimes you don't see messages you should see. Selecting someone in the list allows to message them privately.
