Flight::Mode::InertialPulsor	Deactivates the Flight Computer mode while the key is pressed.

Other
TimeInc TimeDec TimeReset	Increases time compression x1.5 times. Decreases time compression x1.5 times. Resets time compression.	Time compression drops already strained precision to the point of bugs and is inherently incompatible with multiplayer. It's sort of supported (not removed), but don't use it.
