Navigation Control Changes

Navigation Control Changes

I would like to see all the pan controls located on WASD and all the rotation controls on the Arrow Keys. Basically a swap of UP Arrow and W and a swap of DOWN Arrow and S.

 

It would be nice if these controls were customizable as then users can choose their preference.

Hi,

 

Under 'Application Options' there is an option to 'invert arrow keys/WASD', hope that helps.

Hi,

 

@Anonymous Unfortunately that setting swaps all the Arrow Keys with WASD, not just the W, UP, S and DOWN. 

 

Thank you for the suggestion!

 

What I am proposing is:

Current W (Vert down rotation) -> UP

Current UP (Pan Forwards) -> W

Current S (Vert up rotation) -> DOWN

Current DOWN (Pan Backwards) -> S

 

Camera controls tend to be unique to each person who uses it, based on their background in modelling and computer simulation, they may have a preference to one navigation scheme or another. This is why I have suggested assignable/editable navigation control buttons.

 

It may be useful to have the inversion checkbox as it is, but it would probably be better used to invert Vertical  Rotation Direction (swapping W and S) instead of just swapping WASD and Arrow Keys.
