Having EDCoPilot plot your course for you is a cool feature, but new users occasionally have issues configuring it to work. Here's a few common issues and methods you can use to resolve the problem:
Key presses bound to the Galaxy Cam controls can sometimes stop it from working ..... user experience can look like it opens Galaxy Map, does a slight little "twist" of the map, then fails to plot. To fix this: delete all the key presses bound to camera controls in the Galaxy Map section of the controls in the game. Leave anything bound to sticks or joysticks. Then retry.
Avoid using letters or numbers for the UI up / down etc controls. Use a combo instead eg. Alt + W, Alt + Q etc. This will prevent the plotting from accidentally typing a letter into the Galaxy Map search field instead of moving the UI position!
Enable correct map views :
If in LIVE, make sure you have "Show Grid" enabled in the Galaxy Map->Display Options section.
If in LEGACY, make sure Galaxy Map view is "Realistic" (edited)
If the system name is not pasting into the search box, it could be that your Galaxy Map is taking too long to open. Adjust the setting "Additional Pause Setting After Opening Galaxy Map (Odyssey)" in the Settings -> Misc Features panel
If you think keybind presses are not being recognized in game, consider changing the "Key Press Duration (seconds)" setting in Settings -> Misc Features
Try setting the Plotting Debug Assistance option in Settings -> Announcement Toggles (the last option on this page). EDCoPilot will slowly walk you through what it is doing, so you can see where it is going wrong.
Required Keybinds
Make sure you bind a keyboard key(s) press to each one of these in game, in addition to any controller or HOTAS mapping you have:
Edit: I was asked to provide the binds that I have set for these so have added them below, but you can try your own preferred binds if you wish (especially users playing keyboard and mouse).
a) Under Ship Controls -> Mode Switches
Galaxy Map Open (I use LeftAlt + G)
b) Under General Controls -> Interface Mode
UI Panel Select (I use LeftAlt + S)
UI Panel Right (I use LeftAlt + T)
UI Panel Up (I use LeftAlt + U)
UI Back (I use Backspace)
Next Panel Tab (I use E)
c) Under General Controls -> Galaxy Map
Galaxy Cam Zoom In (I use Up Arrow)
