This is my combat hotkey I use, Autohotkey script. It does a couple things for me:

• Deploys hardpoints
• Sets pips to 3/0/3 (my combat pips)
• Deploys my condor fighter with active pilot
• Turns on nightvision
• Turns on fight music (random mp3 file)

Also, f4 will exit combat and prepare to jump

• Recall fighter
• Retract hardpoints
• Turn off nightvision
• Turn off fight music
