Press "/" to kill warp

[Sonny_Jim]

Makes perfect sense to me, press the "/" button to kill warp instantly, rather than hammering the "<" key. It's right next to the warp keys and it's not used.

[Starwhip]

Yeah, I had a similar suggestion. Probably better to ramp down quickly, though, as timewarp gets funky when stopping from high multipliers. Still, better than hammering the key!

I have quick fingers. Tapping very slowly works, but I would love to see a big stop thing like this. Unless it makes the game unstable in some way.

Kerbal Alarm Clock has a feature that when you press the "kill thrust" button, it stops the time warp.

Yeah I did think that it might not be possible, but if KAC can do it....

Also, it kinda ties in with Z and X being full throttle/kill throttle.

I think you should be able to add a "Stop time warp" node to the trajectory in map view. as your craft approaches the node it automatically starts slowing down the warp.

Why would hitting Shift+7 to kill time warp make sense?

In general, using punctuation marks in default keybindings is a bad idea, because keyboard layouts are quite different around the world. It's mostly safe to assume that , and . are to the right from m, but the rest varies from country to country.

[Starwhip]

In the top left corner, you can click to 1x warp from any warp, so it is possible.

(I think, never use that GUI anyhow.)

Why not just have it the same as the kill throttle button? High time warp cant be under thrust anyways and if you want to stop physics warp then you prolly want to turn off your engines. The new 'warp to' option should be useable for nodes.

Ah, hadn't thought about different keyboard layouts. But I cannot think of any widely used keyboard layouts that *don't* have a key between RShift and ,/.

There's a difference between physical keys and logical keys. On my Mac, KSP sees that key as -.

This! Nobody sets a maneuver node with the intention of ignoring it so any maneuver node you place should automatically slow timewarp at a set time before the node.

[Sonny_Jim]

That's basically KAC does, although I can't remember if it does it by default or you have to turn on an option. When you create a manoeuvre node, it automatically creates an alarm 3 minutes before hand.

Squad said there will be a “warp to“ button, no need to spam your period anymore
