Don't go into docking mode. With RCS on, use the I,K keys to translate down/up; J/K to translate left/right; H to go forward, N to go backward. The WASD keys will continue to cause vertical and horizontal rotation. Translation moves the ship in a direction, without rotating. This is critical for docking.

EDIT: I made a mistake above: J/L to translate left/right.

You'll have to rebind the keys in the keymap, there's a thread somewhere explaining it. Basically each key control has the option to tick which mode the command is active.

k is used both for up and right? :O

Go into the settings when you're at the main menu, change the key bindings for staging and docking modes.

One of the more recent patches for the game changed the default key bindings for some reason, that's why it seems like something is wrong.
