This is a list of the default key bindings of the standard game.

Modifier key

Because KSP can run on different operating systems the modifier key (Mod) differs between them. In the table below, the generic Mod key is mapped to the following keys:

  • Windows: Alt (e. g. Alt+L)
  • Mac OS: Option (e. g. Opt+L)
  • Linux: Right Shift or Win (e. g. Win+L). As of version 0.23, Win key appears to be the default mod key. In windowed mode but not in fullscreen mode Win may have special meanings to the Window Manager (e.g. Win+ may resize and/or move the active window).

As an example, Mod+L locks the current stage. The key combinations in brackets show an example of the respective operating system's key combination: just swap Mod with the operating system's designated modifier.

Some keyboard also require to press a Fn key to access some special keys like F5 for example on a Macbook Pro requires Fn+F5.
