Hello,

On the battlescape:
- asdw are used to move the camera
- right click is used to cancel
- center mouse button is used to rotate the camera.

On the geoscape:
- asdw do nothing
- right click is used to rotate the camera
- center mouse button - I am not sure what it does, actually.

It would be great if the default keys.cfg would bind the same key sets for both views.
Or just add some more keys equivalence to the geoscape (that would probably prevent people from changing their habbits Wink
I do not know how to specify these, otherwise I would even have attached the proposed modification to the file.

Thank you for your help.

EDIT: I use version 2.4-dev IA-32 jan 23 2011 Win32 DEBUG

I agree on this.
Actually the middle mouse button does nothing on the geoscape.

the middle mouse button is zooming the geoscape on 2d and 3d geoscape

The mousewheel up/down is zooming in/out on 2d and 3d geoscape.
Afaik pressing the middle mouse BUTTON does nothing on the geoscape. It should have the same function assigned as left and right mousebutton on the geoscape currently have, that is to move the camera when it is pressed and the mouse is moved.
This would add consistency as holding the middle mouse button on the battlescape actually provides that function.

Oh, after testing again, holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse up and down does really zoom the geoscape...
It would be nice to be also able to rotate the earth with holding middle mouse button and moving the mouse to left/right.

* Partially implemented fr #3168150 (Geoscape key shortcuts partially incoherent with battlescape)
* The keys adws and keypad keys left-, right-, up-, down- arrows are now used on geoscape also to control camera movement (not earth movement)
* The keys PGUP and PGDN are now also used on the geoscape to control the camera zoom (zoom in and out)
