Earlier version game key shortcut in VAB/SPH question

[Thourion]

Erm, i dunno how to search the forum with the question thats buggin me (the term i mean), and basically i think i posted about it someplace, although that got lost in the wipe we had some time ago...

Anyway here goes. Does anyone remember the shortcut we had, where you had the game switch to the tab that contained the part we clicked in our craft? (while building it)

For the love of me, i cant remember, i think it was shift-click.. anyway that got removed somewhere around 0.17-0.18 ?

Is it gone forever? or maybe it didnt exist after all and im chasing windmills? and of course the most important question.. is there an alternative?

Needless to say that it was convenient, lets say you need another decoupler, you just did the magic-click and boom you were in the tab that had the part, so yeah

(i know about the alt-clicking, but imo its only handy for radial parts. In the above scenario you got stuff under the decoupler, so you make a copy, put the decoupler under the craft if possible, remove the other parts, and remind yourself to keep a spare solo ghost copy around while building .... rant off lol)

This functionality has gotten changed if you Alt+LMB you will make a copy of whatever part you click on. however I do not believe that functionality has been implemented in any newer version.

Thanks Taki117. I hoped that i was just missing the function, but yeah i see now that it changed when the PartTab UI change, made its appearance.

Ill be happy if they bring it back, but for now back to the "ghost copy parts".
