throttle positions and keyboard assignments for airbus aircraft

Hello, I hope you are all well.

I would like to know if I can use the keyboard to control the throttle, especially for Airbus aircraft in the 2020 simulator.
For example:
Case 1: Throttle increases.
When F4 is pressed, the throttle moves from IDLE to CLIMB.
When F4 is pressed again, the throttle moves from CLIMB to FLEX.
When F4 is pressed again, the throttle moves from FLEX to TOGA.
Case 2: Throttle decreases.
When F1 is pressed, the throttle moves from TOGA to FLEX.
When F1 is pressed again, the throttle moves from FLEX to CLIMB.
When F1 is pressed again, the throttle moves from CLIMB to IDLE.

Is this scenario possible? I think this is what happened when I was using the FSLabs A320.
I hope you can help me create this procedure.

That should be possible, either with direct assignments or if not then via a lua script. I think the default key assignments for throttle inc/dec in MSFSare F2 and F3.

Did you assign for that or were these the default assignments? Have you tried the same in the Asobo A310?

I am currently on holiday until next week (see post above) and so cannot really advise further or take a look until I return.
But I am not that familiar with the Airbus/A310 - does it have fixed detents for these positions? I thought the throttle in the A310 was a full range throttle, and if that is the case (i.e. no fixed detents) then I would need to know the throttle position/percentage for each of those positions (CLOIMB, FLEX and TOGA).

Thank you.

I don't have a problem with the Asobo A310 because the throttle works like a Boeing; there's no CLOIMB or FLEX. It's different with the A320 or A380. I currently use the FBW A380 and the iniBuilds A350.

I don't use the Asobo A310. I use the FBW A380 and the ini A350. However, I have no problem controlling the throttle when I'm at home, as I have a Honeycomb Bravo. The problem is when I travel (I often travel for work) with a laptop.

I don't have enough experience programming Lua scripts.
Yes, you need to know the throttle position/percentage for each of these positions (CLIMB, FLEX, and TOGA). And use an offset, for example. Maybe I don't know.
Thanks.
