Making PE node stay open as if I hover over it with the mouse

[jarmund]

Silly question, but how? I'm sure i saw Scott Manley do it in one of his vids - He did something that made the PE altitude stay open, as if he was hovering all the time while adjusting the maneuver node. Is there a feature that i'm missing, or is he using a mod to achieve this?

I think you have to left or right click on the PE marker, I'm not really sure. Sometimes works for me.

That just brings up theadd-maneuver-dialogue for me.

I'm running the linux version, by the way, if that makes a difference (I doubt it)

Its simply a right click. 90% of the time you'll think you're clicking the PE node, when you're actually hitting the flight path under it which will bring up the maneuver node dialogue. Zoom in real close to the PE marker and right-click it at the top of the PE marker. Looking at it from the orbital plane makes it a little easier.

This is one of the problems with the UI. It's often difficult to select the Pe/Ap marker rather than the orbit line. If you click the orbit line, then you get the maneuver node dialogue instead.

I use it all the time, but it's much too fiddly.

Also, why can't you click for persistence on target encounter/rendezvous markers?

Happy landings!

You need to click the Pe marker. If you click the orbit path you get the add manoeuvre dialogue. The difference can be very small.

Double click the Pe icon with left mouse.

^ That's what I do.

I also double-click to keep the info up. Word of caution, double-click very slowly. Double-clicking will work to keep the info up, no matter how much time passes between clicks (just as long as you don't click anywhere else between the first and second click). If you double-click too quickly, you may inadvertently change the camera's focus.

I don't even click in the node. It usually works for me if I click the yellow text. Making sure where I click on the text the text is NOT on the orbit, but in space.
