Toggleable parking brake.

I wonder why there is no toggleability for parking brake?
Or am I missing something?

I suppose it's the handbrake you call parking break?

Unfortunately I do not remember which key is the default key for the handbrake, I use the space key for the handbrake.

In addition, in game settings you can select / deselect to use automatic handbrake.

In this game it is called "parking break"

I do not use default key. I setup my buttons in specific way. But it is annoying to use two times my binded "button" just to engage and then disengage parking break as my button is toggleable.

I disabled auto parking break.

LOL ok, that's a question about the game's translation. :)
I have set my language to Danish, and here the setting is called "håndbremse" which directly translated into English would be called hand brake. :)
I actually do not think there are quite a few Danes who use the corresponding Danish term "parkeringsbremse" for the handbrake, even though it is the same thing.

I totally understand this
I am using English in my ETS2 even if there is my native language translation in game and we use also naming hand brake in Poland. It is exact translation from English and it is the same. But in ETS2 they call it parking brake which is nothing bad as it is IMO even more accurate for trucks.

Space is the default key for hand brake / parking brake.

As far as I know here in the UK it was called a hand brake because it was operated by hand. I know a lot of American cars have a foot operated "parking brake", my Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 did.

Hand brake is what I have always know it as and hence still call it that.
I would say the most accurate term is "parking brake".

Also please note in English it is "brake" not "break", but that is my pedantic side coming out, sorry.

anyways pressing space one time it activates parking brake, press it again it releases..so I guess its the interaction because you used a toggleabe key for that

Most interactions in the game do not support a toggleable switch. They can only be set up that way if the game supports it. Of the few binds that do support it, the parking brake is not one of them. The Parking Brake is exclusively a single-action button. Press once, it activates. Press again it deactivates. There is no "switch" variant of it.

Alternatively, you can use some 3rd-party scripting tools, such as AHK, to activate the keybind when you use your toggle switch, and then have it such that it does it again when you reverse it. A complicated round-about way, but currently the only solution at this time.

There is a awesome app called SV Mapper for just this thing. https://bbjsimracing.com/links-and-downloads

I use for longer time antimicro which is very versatile program. It have option to make buttons and axis to be toggleabler but for my purpose it does not work.
I tried suggested SV Mapper but it also is not able to fulfill what I want to achieve :(
