How do I get control of the Kerbal I'm supposed to save?

Feels like there are missing a few words here.

Control of WHAT?

[Kryxal]

This is probably another Kerbal rescue question, just like the dozens that have come before but with fewer words. Try [ and ] within physics range.

[Jockee707]

Yeah, don't know what happened to those words. and [/] doesn't work...

[Sirrobert]

Yeah, don't know what happened to those words. and [/] doesn't work...

Are you within 2km of your target? If you are, you can use [ and ] to switch between crafts, including kerbals

[Jockee707]

I am! I'm like 10 meters from him and it doesn't work it's never worked for me. I've checked the keys and they should work.

[Sirrobert]

Can you still switch between regular vessles with those keys?

If not, they may be bound to something else

If you can, sounds like it's bugged cause it should work

[Wanderfound]

Are you running TAC-LS? The life support clock starts as soon as you reach physics range, IIRC. Take too long and you'll have an uncontrollable ex-Kerbal.

Are you using an English Keyboard (I know the German ones have an issue with this) also, are you using Windows or another OS, Have you Remapped them to another key?

[Jockee707]

I have a Scandinavian keyboard. I'll try remapping then. It's never worked with anything.

[Jockee707]

It worked!

[Sirrobert]

Great. Glad it's been fixed
