Ingame Render Range Ship Selection: Ctrl-X and then Alt-X type ship selection like RTS games.

[Anth]

Watching poor old EJ_SA on stream trying to select between his many crafts that are in render range made me think this is a possibility

RTS games have this type of craft selection

Have your active ship. Press Ctrl-1

Then change to another ship and Press Ctrl-2

Then  go Alt-1 and then Alt-2 to go between  the two (1, 2 etc wont work because of action groups)

Probably the most simple way for this to work is to have it based on a scene load basis. and once other crafts are out of range to not remember their number designation.

RTS games seem to have 0-9 possibilities from memory. Just a thought

...or just do what Easy Vessel Switch does.  Hold alt and click of the ship you want.

This is another one of KSP's UI elements that really shouts "we didn't know what this game would become."

Thats another possibility, maybe add both
