Add toolbar button in space center to show vacationing kerbals

[Wyzard256]

Sometimes you need to know when a vacationing kerbal will become available again, for planning purposes. Sometimes you even need to wait for one — e.g. if all your pilots are on vacation. Currently the only way to do that is to go into the Astronaut Complex, scan through the list of kerbals to see who'll be available next (since it's not sorted by time), then go back to the space center and manually timewarp with your eye on the clock. That's OK for once in a while, but it can be a pain if you have to do it often. When timewarping, it's also easy to either undershoot (so you have to go back to the Astronaut Complex to see how much longer you need) or overshoot (which wastes time).

So, an idea: a toolbar button in the space-center scene that opens a scrollable list of kerbals who are on R&R, conceptually kinda like the list that comes up when you hover the stock contracts button. Sorted by return time, with the soonest-available kerbal at the top, and with a button next to each kerbal's name that timewarps until the moment when that kerbal becomes available.

It might also be handy to have checkboxes to filter by kerbal type, e.g. to show only pilots. But that could get cumbersome when using mods like MKS that add a bunch more types, and it's probably not really needed since the list generally shouldn't be really long anyway. (But it'd be good to at least show each kerbal's type, maybe below the name.)

Could this be more easily handled by making a KAC entry? Just a thought. This was Enhancement #! from 2017.

The idea is somewhat similar to what KCT does, and I'll take a look at it to see how difficult it will be. But it's going to be a little while before I get to it

Understood. Its an enhancement, not a fix, so naturally lower on the worklist.
