Description

Scenario: I want to use the secondary control position in the mk1 cockpit for docking.
To make this simple i want to keep the docking port i want to attach to as the target of my vessel.
To get to the secondary control position i need to double click my way around the cockpit.
By default the double click also cancels targeting. so in your current build there is no way to sit in secondary command position and have target locked.

To clarify here is the side view of the command spot.

This is the main view of the command spot.

solution 1:
The keyboard shortcut V works strange in cockpits or commands pods with only one seat.
Its only use for the moment is to exit the IVA when you sit in the standard position.
In all other positions the button does nothing.
I suggest that the V key should correspond to changing the internal view in all capsules
and cycle through all possible view spots in the capsule.

Solution 2:
Disable the feature that deselects targets with a double click when in the IVA view.
there is no point of having it there anyway since you cannot select a target from within a capsule anyway.

solution 3:
Allow manual selecting of targets seen through the window of a capsule

I have searched the internet for how to do this but it seams this is a fairly unknown issue since people is not aware of the secondary command position.
