I figured out how to autorun

(Sorry this is poorly lit) That's a hammer and a pair of twig shears, holds down SHIFT + W nicely.

I find I like to just use little stacks of pennies - carefully stacking until key depresses and stays down, then walk away for coffee/food/tv

[soulsource]

Cool idea! I also used a stack of coins before I figured a software solution:

I don't know if this works on platforms other than Linux, KSP has to run in windowed mode, and I haven't used this exploit since 0.23.5, but it's possible to keep running if KSP just gets a key_pressed, but no key_released (or however they are calle in Unity) event. This can be achieved by focusing another window while running. I personally have window focus follow my mouse cursor, so it is simply enough to move the cursor out of the KSP window. I'm not sure, but it sounds reasonable to me, that also switching the active window using the task bar might work.

[tetryds]

Lol. I thought it was like start ksp with windows or something.

Isn't there a "go to" mod or something? It would be helpful.

Is that...is that a CRT monitor?

Is that...is that a CRT monitor?

Haha, yup. Sadly my very nice 28" widescreen LCD died on me a little while ago and I don't have the cash to replace it yet. Luckily I still had this old dinosaur sitting around and it still works great after more than 12 years.

[Corw]

I jam the key with teaspoon.

[Frank_G]

I use a rover...

[Brainlord Mesomorph]

I put a rock on the keyboard.

OMG it is!

[SAI Peregrinus]

I use an AutoHotkey macro...

[JimmyAgent007]

Scissors and a water bottle cap on its side. I use this for lots of things that I want to do on its own.

[LordFerret]

I use an AA battery, it's just enough weight to hold a key down on this laptop.

Push down w key, wedge toothpick in.

Autorun sounds like something that that fat kid in your class would try to invent to make things easier in gym class.

That is a very Kerbal solution. Bravo!

[dryer_lint]

Stack of coins is quick and easy, but nothing could possibly beat this method for the sheer awesomeness.

[StrandedonEarth]

I used a padlock on top of a penny. But I agree, that's the Kerbal Way!

I was taught not to run with scissors...

[Kelderek]

Most weighted objects are only good for holding down one key at a time. I like this method since I get both shift and W. I came up with this years ago playing Oblivion when I was trying to level up skills (this was before I discovered the amazing command console that game had).
