How to move camera focus

[PIRATEONTHERUN]

So I've playing KSP for over a year now and have become aware through HOCgaming and The Solar Gamer's videos that you can pan the camera around while controlling your spaceship (and presumably in the VAB too). Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Note: I'm taking about being able to move the camera focus like you can in the SPH. (when you hold down RBM and drag the camera around)

Hold down the middle mouse button or wheel while panning.

Its been ninja'd but you can also use the shift for other things I've forgotten

What I'm talking about is not zooming the camera in the VAB but making it easier to look at large rockets where parts are very far from the middle of the VAB where the camera is centered.

Well, I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking for so I'll throw a bunch of possiblities out hoping one will cover the question.

RMB-dragging works in the staging view as well as VAB/SPH.

Scroll wheel works to zoom in/out, as noted.

With stock key-binding, "v" switches between different camera modes. (Auto, Free, and Chase)

Again with stock key-binding, "c" toggles between craft view and IVA view for crewed vessels.

If none of those options are what you were looking for, the official KSP wiki has a full list of standard controls: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Controls

- to zoom out. + to zoom in.

Is that what you are looking for?

The guys you mentioned in the videos use a mod called kerbcam or something

RMB-dragging works in the staging view as well as VAB/SPH.

What black magic is this!? How do you do RMB-dragging the VAB? Or staging view? What key combination? This is exactly what I'm trying to find out and have been entirely unsuccessful in!

RMB =Right Mouse Button. Just right-click and hold down the button.

Guys, he's talking about sliding the camera focus off the VAB's centerline, like you can do in the SPH with the help of some buttons (shift and right mouse I believe). It doesn't seem to work in the VAB

Yeah that's what I meant. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
