Tex Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Okay, I have had it. One of my biggest pet peeves in KSP is when you're in map mode, and accidentally shift focus from the craft you're flying to the celestial body itself.How do you switch focus back to the craft? I've tried clicking on the craft itself endlessly (which a double-click was more than sufficient to shift focus away in the first place, but apparently doesn't work in reverse).Thanks in advance.

AlexinTokyo Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 By default, the 'backspace' key.Also, 'tab' shifts one object forward, and IIRC 'shift-tab' shifts one object backwards (use with care, shift still controls your throttle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wercho Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Press backspace to shift the focus back to the craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh, this will save me so much frustration in the future.Thanks a million! You learn something every day, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srpadget Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The TAB key will advance focus to the next celestial body. (If you're focused on Kerbin, the next body is Mun.) Note that this is exactly the opposite of what you want, so you'll have to hit TAB multiple times. Your original craft is next in line after Eeloo, which is after all the Joolian moons.Supposedly, Left Shift + Tab does the same thing but in reverse, so you would be able to do what you want in one keypress. I don't use it, as I almost always have ship's controls enabled while in Map View and so Left Shift is 'throttle up'. (Not a good thing when you're trying to FIND your ship!)EDIT: Ninja'd. (And with better advice than I had.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1ngmercenary Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Any time you want to snap immediately to your craft in map mode, click the "~" key under "esc".

Starhawk Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 When this question was first asked by Tex many of the default keybindings were not the same as they are now. The KSP Wiki keybinding page should have an up to date list of the current keyboard controls. Locking this thread to avoid further confusion.
