Toggle ALT mouse?

Silly noob question here. From what I've been able to figure out you have to hold down the ALT key when using the mouse pointer to interact with the HUD. Is there any way to change the behavior to a toggle instead? So I press alt once to free up the mouse for menu navigation and press it again when I'm ready to go back to flying?

PS. There really needs to be some mention of the ALT function in the docs or tutorials. Figuring out how to use the HUD was a real head-scratcher

I don't think there's a toggle for it, Vortical. I use keyboard/mouse myself, and sometimes when I use the HUD I just temporarily switch to keyboard control. This prevents the ship from spinning all over the place, which can be a bit of a nuisance when you're trying to build a station for example. I've done it so many times now that it has become something natural.

A toggle would be nice though, I agree.
