warning about the TAB key.

Lost my Cobra yesterday, crashed into the side of a station.
Lucky enough i had insurance to cover it.

But silly reason was the TAB key being bound to boost by default, i alt tabbed out of game to add a command to voice attack, whilst doing this and just going into desktop i heard the whooosh of my thrusters, quickly went back in game and i was spinning wildly with smoke and sparks, "eject,eject,eject" was all i could hear. Boom.

Reason was as i alt tabbed out, the boost was pressed too. Now i have bound it to a different key.

Be warned.

Good warning, thanks. I'm mildly curious though, how could you dare alt-tab out of game so near, and pointed to, a station. Just rhetoric, no need to answer, and sorry for your loss

LOL, i was just fine tuning my request docking command for voice attack, so had to be within hailing range.
Trust me, first and last time that will happen. (hence the warning to others)
