1. A manoeuvring arrangement, for a working equipment, and comprising:
a manoeuvring unit comprising a set of control members and a first display section, and
a control unit, in wireless and/or wired connection with the manoeuvring unit, configured to control an operation of the working equipment in response of operator input from an operator to said manoeuvring unit via the set of control members, and to control the first display section to display graphical instructions of a set of available operation functions mapped to the set of control members,
wherein the manoeuvring arrangement is configured to operate in one selected operation mode among a plurality of predefined operation modes, each operation mode having a predefined set of available operation functions mapped to the set of control members, and
wherein the manoeuvring unit further comprises a first selection member, such as a button, arranged to receive operator input from the operator regarding a selection of one of the operation modes,
wherein the manoeuvring arrangement is configured to initiate a selection state in response of a first interaction by the operator with the first selection member, wherein the control unit is further configured, when in the selection state, to control a second display section of the manoeuvring unit to display a navigation view comprising a list of at least a group of the plurality of predefined operation modes, and to control a marking to sequentially mark the operation modes in the displayed list in response to operator input via further interactions by the operator with the first selection member, and
wherein the manoeuvring arrangement further comprises a timer module arranged to monitor the time period since the last interaction by the operator with the first selection member, when in the selection state, and to further generate an exit selection state signal in response of the monitored time period being larger than a predefined selection time period, wherein the control unit is configured to receive said exit selection state signal, and wherein the manoeuvring arrangement is further arranged to leave the operation mode selection state and to initiate the operation mode by applying the operation mode with the marking in the displayed list on the second display section being the selected operation mode, in response to the control unit having received the exit selection state signal.
