Yep, I am certainly familiar with the Center telescope function, since I am the one who wrote it
Yes, there are many ways to slew your telescope to an object, with the Dialog Box, the Whats Interesting information window, the Mount Control Toolbox, Keyboard Shortcuts, the Center Telescope Function, a programmed observing list, the scheduler, the toolbar buttons, and the Right click menu. (and probably others) I agree all these methods are good. But I think it would really help users to have a simple way to use the skymap to slew their telescope that doesn't involve any special setup or complications. I would like to be able to tell a new user of KStars that anyone using KStars can slew their telescope to that object they see in the skymap right away by just doing this. ..
The current method of using the right click menu that I started this thread with was already improved by Jasem this week by clearing out the unused commands and menus for CCDs etc. It still has the drawback of it being in a submenu of the right click menu though.
The method you mention of the keyboard shortcuts could work pretty well, but the user would have to set up the shortcuts first and there is a very serious risk that you could accidentally slew to an object you did not intend to go to by hitting the keyboard. You would really want a dialog to confirm the movement. Also there is the issue of which mount do you want it to slew there if more than one is connected.
I think one method of doing it that would be really nice would be to shift click on an object to slew the telescope to that object. This method is less likely to accidentally slew your telescope because you have to click on the object and hold down key(s) at the same time. I could very easily implement the code to make this work. But again, which mount do you want to slew? Also, a dialog to confirm would still be good.
And the final option is the one that I mentioned at the beginning, to put a "GOTO" item in the right click menu for each INDI connected telescope right underneath the map centering command. This is fairly easy to use, and you can select which telescope mount you want to slew. It also would be even easier for me to code because I already wrote the code that would do this
