How to switch control from Mothership to Shuttle Craft

[Castille7]

Can someone explain how to gain control of my Shuttle Craft after decoupling from my Mother ship?

You will need to press ] or [ to change to another craft, took me forever to learn this and only learned after unloading 34 Kerbals onto Mun

Awesome, someone answered this already. Could you mark it as answered?

You might also want to try the Targetron mod, it gives you a filterable and sortable (e.g. range!) list of all crafts/kerbals and the option to target or switch control to them.

Makes it easier to get to the exact craft you want if there are more than two or three.

If you don't need to do anything with the Mother ship immediately after seperation, you can also select "control from here" from the right click menu on a part of the Shuttle before you decouple.

This actually works? Sure it is not just a coincidence?

It works for inline decouplers, not for radial decouplers, and not for docking ports attached in VAB. Good to know anyway, thanks for the tip.
