KSP 1.12.5, RP-1 Express Install, and Angle Snap and Symmetry Toggle settings just clear.

It's been rather a while since I've been here, but i saw the start of Nathan Kell's latest play-through with 1.12.3 and RP-1 and saw some changes I liked, so I grabbed the current version of KSP (I got 1.12.5, couldn't find a link to 1.12.3 as RP-1 Wiki recommends), installed CKAN (which I hadn't used since my last Linux upgrade -- now on Kubuntu 22.04.2, AMD Fx8350, 32 GB RAM, nVidia GTx1070/6 GB with nVidia 530 driver version , game installed on a weeks-old 1 GB SATA SSD, i.e. barely enough machine to play KSP2 if they had it for Linux, but very much not a potato), and installed RP-1 Express.  FAR fewer choices than the last time I played (1.10.1 with RP-1 that was current then), which is good; install took twenty-some minutes on my cable modem vs. more than an hour last time with having to manually select and install each mod or group of mods as I read through the Wiki.

End result, though, everything seems to be fine -- except I can't get the key selections for Toggle Symmetry and Angle Snap to hold, hence can't use the Editor Extensions Redux versions of those functions to simplify my rocket-building life.

I tried uninstalling Editor Extensions Redux 3.4.3.6 and installing the previous version (3.4.3.5, also marked compatible with 1.12.5).  This resulted in mangling my PAW displays (I could see only a single line of any PAW with a transparent background), so I saved the craft I'd built to that point, nuked the install, and started over with a blank folder.  I launched a fresh game as soon as CKAN was done, with no expectation that anything would be different from the last time.  Game load took a while, as expected for first time on a new install with 59,000+ patches.

And it's still doing it.  I set my C and X for those functions, and it'll stay while I go to other parts of the main game Settings, but as soon as I click "Accept" and then go back into settings, those two entries are "None" again.

What am I missing here?

Have you tried clicking the reset button in EER’s toolbar menu? Those buttons often stop working for me but the reset button fixes it every time.

@jimmymcgoochie I think you're misunderstanding.  I'm referring to the game-wide settings, accessible from the first start screen (three Kerbals in EVA).  I go there, put in the C and X for those two functions (which I've had fail to stick in a new campaign in older versions, but always held the settings when I went in an manually added them), select Accept -- and even if I return to those settings immediately, they're blank.

EER refers to Editor Extensions Redux?  I can't find any evidence that was successfully installed, other than showing a checkmark in CKAN.  CKAN shows it as version 3.4.3.6, which is listed as compatible with KSP 1.11.1 to 1.12.5 -- but there are three newer versions (3.4.4, 3.4.4.1 and 3.4.5), none of which existed when I installed this.  Should I upgrade this mod?  Or will that break my install and require me to start fresh?

Edit: Preliminarily, it looks like updating EER (along with whatever else had updates since I installed this version -- in for a penny, in for a pound, right?) seems to have fixed this.  At the least, I was able to set the X and C for symmetry cycle and snap toggle and they stayed set long enough to exit the settings and reenter it.  Game has loaded now, let me check there, too...  ...and yep, it's working now.

If I had to guess, I'd say I had a version mismatch; the recommendation I saw from Nathan Kell in his new RP-1 playthrough video series was to use KSP 1.12.3, but that wasn't accessible when I downloaded, and some of the mods might not yet have been fully compatible with 1.12.5.
