Cool. That could be fairly handy

Though something that might also be useful is the ability to 'pull back' in terms of distance so that something that's bigger than the current FOV can fit inside it - rather than keep the current distance and change the size of the FOV. Would that be scriptable?

I moved Hank's wiki entry to a new location as part of the new Q&A section in the Celx part of the Celestia wikibook - it's now at:

From my expierience with this, some modified keys work (such as control a-z). Other meta keys, at least on windows, are not useable at all (alt modifiers, most extended key sequences). Some control sequences are problematic, especially if they are already in use by Celestia. My advice is to download and understand the console script written by Harald Schmidt. It's straighforward and clean, with multiple key processing. I believe it's on Celestia Mother Lode. BTW, control sequences are \001 through \026, except ^h (in Windoze, maps to H). I would avoid using ^c and ^z since those map to break and suspend on unix systems
