Pause while in game menus

[DasWiesel]

When I press ESC to access the game menu (e.g. to save the game or change some settings) the game should automatically be paused. 

I think few people need the functionality of the game continuing while they are not paying attention. And currently you need to remember to click pause first, which seems unnecessary.

Agreed wholeheartedly - I discovered last night to my dismay that opening the KSP2 in-game menu does not pause the game as expected, like before in the original KSP.

This feature is cool but not all the time if it would come it should be able  to turn on/off.

Why would you want the game to continue while you are in the menu?

When I want to tweak something but still keep my craft going.

Or, y’know, multiplayer.

Taking Minecraft for example, pause when singleplayer, and continue when multiplayer, it's a pretty common practice.

Also, I really don't see why a pause would be that much of an embarrassment when you tweak some options (and still don't see the use), when the opposite is much more annoying, because that's the usual behaviour of a menu (usually called "pause" menu)
