How to change focus without firing up the throttle

kerbal-space-program

I can use tab to change between foci, e.g. if my focus is Kerbin and I hit tab, focus shifts to the Mun. However to go back without cycling through every celestial object requires pressing shift +tab, which fires the throttle, which alters my course. Is there any way around this?

I've found two potential solutions to this:

Minimize the Nav Ball - this prevents shift from activating the thrusters

Double-click to focus - If you can see an object, you can double click to focus on it.
