Autoplot

Autoplot (Windows)

Click ◎ next to any system anywhere in the app and Elite Trader plots the route in the game itself: it focuses the game window, opens the galaxy map using your own keybinds, types the system into search, and commits the plot — then verifies it actually worked by watching the game rewrite NavRoute.json, instead of hoping.

While a plot is running the button becomes CANCEL — a mis-tap can be stopped immediately and cleanly releases any held keys.

Requirements

• Windows only (it injects keystrokes into the game client). On Linux the buttons explain this cleanly; everything else works.
• These actions need keyboard keys bound in the game (controller-only binds won't work): Galaxy Map, UI Up, UI Down, UI Right, UI Select, UI Back. Your binds are read automatically from the game's bindings files.
• Leave the game untouched for the ~15 seconds a plot takes.

Good to know

• Plotting to the system you're already in always fails — the game refuses it, not the app.
• Voice callouts confirm "Route plotted to …" when it lands.
• Timing constants live at the top of elite/autoplot.py if your machine needs different pacing.
