change shift+tab key binding

[dronkit]

Hi!

I was happy to find that the SHIFT+TAB combination scrolls back the focus body in map view. The problem is, this works only with the left shift key, which is also the throttle up key. So the scenario is, i'm happily orbiting, want to see the map, shift+tab to scroll back the map focus and, unwantedly, the engine burns.

Can the shift+tab key binding be changed? Ideally to right shift+tab? (I don't want to change the "throttle up" key!)

I think whats actually going on here is that TAB cycles bodies in map view. I was unaware the SHIFT key acted as a modifier on that.

Things to be aware of: This is probably low-ish priority since the navball is hidden by default in map view (but you make a compelling point). Also, the backspace key auto-focuses the active vessel (and double clicking on a planet focuses it, but you probably knew that one).

Really? hiding the navball in map view prevents the ship from throttling? Gonna try that, thanks! Also, i didn't know about backspace!

Yes. hiding the navball (either by the little arrow or numpad period) will prevent you from actually controlling the vessel at all (and even with it shown you cant stage which is annoying as all get out sometimes).

I've got caught out by this so many times. Maybe it should be changed so that in map view [ and ] step between bodies, since in flight view they switch through nearby ships.

I'd totally back this if it turned into a suggestion ... or is this already rebindable?
