Some Obscure Keys

Help Menu = F1 [This essentially lists all the buttons here, but this guide gives some context on when to use some of the buttons.]
Drop Item = G [Must be in hands]
Toggle Visor = X
Grabbing = When near a surface in zero-g, press and hold shift.
RCS Stabilization = When not near a surface, piloting or your jetpack is active, hold shift. [This cancels any movement in yaw, pitch, or roll.]
Jetpack = T
Switch Docking Camera = R
Switch Docking Target = RMB
Jetpack Nav = K [Navigate with arrow keys.]
Suit Lights = V
Toggle Gravity = N/A [Post 1.3, There are now physical buttons you have to press.]
Match Velocities = [Buggy ASF] F3 [Disabled Post 1.3, Until Fix]
Scroll through contacts in ship = T + MouseWheel. [While Piloting, Normally and Docking]

Comment any more obscure keys and I will add them up here. :D

Controls have changed since this post, please disregard the above. Pressing F1 still works and is about the most useful thing still in this post.

visor and Jetpack controls do nothing, i cant turn on the RCS at all, and when looking through the controls page, i can only see what button to press to do... something, i cant see the left side of the page to allow me know what the button is supposed to affect :(:(:(:(

can anyone advise the button combo to pressurise or depressurise a module? ive finalyl got dcoked after a few dozen attempts but now i cant access the main ship to get that hooked up because it is pressusied and the door wont open i assume until depressurised.... but i press F to go to the screen but cant interact with it. yet in every video i see people can. Any help with the buttons would be great i think ive tried everyone of them but im about to be provne wrong... Thanks

@goldenwimbat press g to drop the datapad and press tab to go away from a screen

how do you stop looking at the data pads and screens?

R doesnt change the docking camera, it changes which port is being docked. I put my airlock on backwards once because of this.
