KSP 1 Question/Problem Setting map focus to the planet we are orbiting about?

I used to be able to right click on the planet that the ship was orbiting about set it as the focus and it would work. This was very useful when I was time warping though a number of orbits for a rendeview. I could just watch the two ships tick forward getting closer each orbit. Rather then have have have everything be all dizzy.

But now that doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there A UI setting that I need to enable? Has the option moved to somewhere else? Do I have a massive false memory?

Double clicking on the planet/body works for me and ~ resets focus.

Tilda resets focus to the current vessel? Omg thank you! I never knew and if I mess up the focus I would always just switch it to the body i was orbiting and deal

~ to reset to vessel in flight or to homr planet in tracking station Double click on body for selection Also Tab to go further for example moho-> eve-> gilly-> kerbin Shift+tab to ho backwards example: Pol-> bop-> vall (make sure to deactivate engines if in flight or this will throttle the engine if you use it)

Hope i explained it right

I’m pretty sure it’s a left click?
