I dissagree with Alec, as this is a "Simpler" addition and not new content, just an improvement. I 100% agree with the OP, and think that this stuff would be very helpful.

Lulz.
What baturinsky suggest is already somewhere in that thread (that thread was a lil brainstorm of ideas for the jetpack).
Shift - freeze in space (like on ladders in vanilla), until shift is depressed (or - until other movement key pressed)
Bad idea to freeze in space. Jet is not cheat.
QuoteDouble-Forward - horizontal increase of speed, at a cost of fuel (like dash in vanilla), until Forward button is depressed
Bad idea. As if any jet movement not at cost of fuel. Slight position correction can lead to jump.
QuoteDouble-space - fly up like in non-hover mode, until space is depressed
Double-shift - free fall until shift is depressed
I do not like those modes as described in Advanced JetPack theme.

Small fluctuation instead of perfect still (like i propose) is even cooler, yes. And may be shift and "no button" can be switched for "stay put" and "hover down" to make things less confusing.

I meant "even more" fuel. Right now to fly with horizontal speed of dush one need to make a running start on the ground, which is silly.

Actually, with these two combos there is no need for more than one mode too.
So, something like this:
No modes.
Arrows - accelerate horizontally, up to certain speed (walking or a little faster). If it is opposite to where you are flying - decelerate.
Double-forward - accelerate to significantly faster speed, until button is depressed. 2x fuel.
Shift - descend at safe speed.
Double-shift - free fall until button is depressed. 0x fuel
Space - slowly accelerate up to certain (2x ladder) speed.
Double-space - accelerate up to a much faster speed, until button is depressed. 3x fuel.
Do nothing - stay roughly at the same place, with some fluctuations.
So, essentially, you fly like in hover mode always, but can get bursts of high speed with double taps.
Also, to put it other way, when jetpack is on you move nearly exactly like you do in vanilla, but in 3d instead of 2d, with space being "up" and shift being "down", and with more inertia and randomness.
Display MoreNo need for modes.
Double Jump (Boost+Jump) -> Jet on;
Touch ground (Boost+Sneak) -> Jet off.
When on:
Jump -> increase speed up;
Sneak -> increase speed down (calculate landing speed, auto decrease vert/hor speed in danger);
Direction -> increase speed in selected direction;
Boost+Jump/Sneak/Direction -> increase that speed even faster;
no controls pressed -> decrease any speed, slow random movement (not ideal "creative" fixed in air position).
Slightly edited quote.
Jump : Space; Sneak: Shift; Boost: Ctrl (added already by IC2); Direction: W/A/S/D.
