keys help?

[toric5]

wow its been a long time since i asked for help. anyway, i am building an aircraft in career mode, and it needs trim. i can trim it just fine, until i hit option+s (macbook pro running mavericks BTW) and i hear the 'invalid command' sound. after this, it moved me into IVA view. any help?

Wow... weird timing. I just read this thread:

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24530-Secret-features-key-shortcuts

It also contains some instructions on re-mapping certain keys. Sounds like you're running afoul of some preset in the OS? Try using a different key as the modifier maybe?

i read that, but what would be a good modifier key? one that would be easy enough to reach, and is not connected to the throttle? if you have a suggestion, what is the code that i replace the LeftAlt or RightAlt with?

Well, the game does recognize the numberpad too. Maybe KeypadEnter?

Other than that, I'm not entirely sure, as I don't know your keyboard or your specific play style. Personally, I would be going a bit bonkers if I had the issue you're trying to circumvent, because I've been so used to the default key layout for so long now.

Wish I could offer something more, but best I can do is point you to the config file where you can make those changes. For some ideas, check through the file and look at some of the other existing entries to get a feel for the naming conventions for the different special keys.

laptop, no numpad. command is reserved for the OS same with function, all the others are already assigned in ksp. i might assign it to a letter. as for my play style, i usually fly rockets, but I'm trying to get into planes. (hence the need for the trim in the first place.) maybe z would be a good modifier key?

nevermind, found it! it was bound to text to speech. gonna have to remap that.

AHA! Good work!
