- Adds 14 hotkeys for moving, rotating, and repositioning objects: Stations, Asteroids, Jump Gates, Ships, etc...
- Includes "Align Mine Up" hotkey, which you can see in the attached screenshot.
- Adds 3 keys for rotation on all 3 axes.
- Adds 6 keys for movement directional movement: North, South, East, West, Up, Down.
- Adds a "Reposition Object" hotkey that allows you to choose a new sector position.
- Adds hotkeys for Reverse Rotation, Increment Rotation, and Reset Rotation.
The hotkeys work on your current TARGET, so you must have something targeted, obviously.
The Rotation and Movement keys will allow you to reposition a station that is already a part of a complex, as well as allowing you to rotate/move the Complex Hub. To target a station that is part of a complex, aim your ship at it and press Shift +T. Don't worry about the connecting tubes, they flex like rubber bands and will adapt to any moving/rotating you may do.
Reposition Object: Asks you to choose a Sector and Position. This allows quickly moving an object across the sector. Or if you placed a station and it's hitting another station, you can quickly move it somewhere else before it explodes. Note that only ships can be repositioned to a different sector.
Reverse Rotation: When you're using the hotkeys for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rotation the object will only be turning in one direction. Press the Reverse Rotation hotkey (you will hear a sound played) and it will switch to the opposite rotation. This is only used for rotation, not for N,S,E,W,Up,Down movement. Those have their own keys.
Increment Rotate/Move: This hotkey has 4 modes. Press the key repeatedly to change the amount you are moving/rotating an object and it will cycle through and back to the start again. The increments are 100, 250, 500, and 1000. Note that I added an Argon voice when you change this, so you can have an idea what increment you're selecting. The numbers said by the voice are not the actual numbers as stated above (I think he says, "500, 1000, 5000, 10000").

The above picture shows mines after using "Align Mine Up" and using the Movement keys to put them close together. If you're not already using FCC scripts, I suggest using Shift + numpad keys for the hotkeys. Read the README.txt file, as it has some suggestions, and this many hotkeys can seem overwhelming at first.
This is a powerful set of hotkeys, so use them wisely!
Want to move the Jump Gates in President's End far apart and make the sector more useful? You can do that. Hate those Sectors where the gates are 150-200km apart? Move them closer! Disgusted with trying to build factory complexes? Drop your station, then reposition it however you like. Argon Titan can't catch that Xenon K? Reposition him! Need to move that asteroid out of the asteroid field and into a clear area where you're building your complex? No problem!Also of note is that I've included an uninstall script that will remove all the hotkeys should you decide to stop using the scripts. In the SPK version, the uninstall file is stored in the Plugin Manager folder, IIRC. Enjoy!
