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 default Mod key is mapped to the following keys (to use a different key, edit the entry in the "MODIFIER_KEY" section of the settings.cfg file):
- Windows: ⎇ Alt (e. g. ⎇ Alt+L)
- Mac OS: ⌥ Option (e. g. ⌥ Opt+L)
- Linux: Right-Shift (e. g. Right-Shift+L) XFCE/Xubuntu users (when in Windowed mode): You will need to disable some of the window manager's key bindings for ⎇ Alt+L to work. Got to Settings > Window Manager Tweaks >Accessibility and set the "Key used to grab and move windows" to "None." Or only play in full screen mode.
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 keyboards also require to press a Fn key to access some special keys like F5. For example, Macs require Fn+F5.
