Can't open debug menu

[BlurSpot]

I just reinstalled KSP and am now using 1.0.5. for the first time.

Some of my crafts require the 'non-strict part attachment'-thing checked in order to construct them properly, but I can't get access to the debug ('cheat') menu. If I remember right, I had to press right-shift(or right-alt?)+fn+F12 (Apple Keyboard), but that doesn't do anything now. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Sorry, have never played the game on a Mac, so that I don't know. On Windows it's alt-F12. However, if you go to the settings section of the main menu, there's a place where you can view (and change) all the key bindings. Perhaps worth taking a look there?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be listed in the key bindings menu.

 

Edit: Using Ubuntu by the way.

It should just be alt-F12. If you haven't made changes to your keyboard settings, that'll be fn-alt-F12.

However, MacOS does have quite a few keybindings which are tied to the function keys, so it would be a good idea to check System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. Default for Dashboard, for example, is F12 afaik.

I would strongly recommend (for KSP, and for other applications in general) switching the "fn" thing around so that you press fn to change volume, brightness etc. and you don't press fn to use the F-keys in general. That's in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard, "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys".

And finally, be aware that some combinations simply cannot be undone (at least, not in the versions of OSX that I've used). ctrl-F1, for example, is impossible to assign for me because it's hard-coded to some system function (can't remember what though).

Not working, unfortunately.

I'm not using MacOS though, just have an Apple Keyboard connected to my Ubuntu machine. I know that I had previously used shift+fn+F12, but that doesn't do anything anymore. However, fn+F11 for example (temperature overlay) works perfectly.

Oh, sorry, I missed that Ubuntu detail.

I have no idea how Ubuntu maps the keyboard, so I really can't help.

Oh well, reinstalling seems to fix it. rshift+fn+F12 does it now.

It's rightshift+F12 on Linux by default though sometimes Steam gives you the Windows settings.cfg which is set to alt+F12.

Alt is already used for moving a window in Ubuntu so couldn't be used by KSP.

And you have to use Fn because it's a laptop and it's doubling up keys to save space.
