Description

Problem,

Because the movement is done in 5 degrees increment when using the turning keys, it is difficult to have a precise bearing adjustment leading to a necessity of using the mouse for precise bearings.

Solution,

By sending a command to stay on the same baring on key up might lead to better precision and intuitive interaction with stations maneuvering the ship.

Research direction

Start by tracing how turning-key input is handled and where key-up events are processed. Compare the current five-degree movement with the proposed key-up behavior, then verify that keyboard steering provides more precise bearing adjustments without disrupting station maneuvering.
