Iirc it was in a ‘the traveler’ episode of TNG that they explained laying in a course was just 2 numbers (0-360 degrees each) plus a speed. Shouldn’t take to many button presses to accomplish that
One number 0-360, one number from 0-180, and a speed. But they better have quite a few decimal places if you are going to end up reasonably close to a star. Besides, that would be improbably difficult to figure those numbers in your head to go from any given location to any other. And you need to know when to stop.
