Description

The default keybinding for Reset Camera clashes with the default keybinding
for Emengency abort.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Entere a rocket that has an abort action defined
  2. Switch to IVA and rotate/zoom the view.
  3. Press 'Backspace' which is the default keybinding for Reset Camera
  4. Observe an unsheduled emergency abort.

The description is quite clear, backspace is ambiguously used for both resetting the view and triggering the abort action in the default keybinding. If you go into interval view while piloting a rocket, pressing backspace will trigger both actions: the view is reset, and the abort action is triggered.

Can also confirm this is also still present in 1.1.3.1289.

Hi Sivert3, we are doing a mass cleanup on reported bugs, you can read more about it here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/143980-time-to-clean-up-the-bug-tracker/

The TL;DR is that its not an indication of anything wrong with your report, there are soo many old bugs in the tracker that we cant give the devs a good picture of whats still an issue - so we have set up a process for all bugs from pre 1.1.3 to collect the info and get them confirmed for the devs.

Thanks for the details

This is the case in 1.1.3

CAMERA_RESET {
primary = Backspace
secondary = None
group = 0
modeMask = -1
modeMaskSec = -1
}
AbortActionGroup {
primary = Backspace
secondary = None
group = 0
modeMask = -1
modeMaskSec = -1
}

But it's really easy for the player to rebind the keys.
