... not always avoidable. If thats needed i place the mouse close to but not on the character and hold down right. The rest of the work is done by the keyboard. I press Q W E and R in patterns. Circle, Square, Zigzag, straight lines, squiggly lines, whatever strikes my fancy until the trees are gone. ...

Can you explain to me why you insist on knowing better then me how i use keyboard and mouse to control my pc? I'm not. I'm talking about how everyone expects you to. Perhaps you should go back and read the very first post again. Currently the map zooms to the ...

Would you like to visit my home and watch me play?
Im not even joking, we can have a talk about this.
I have tea, bring cookies.

... from the mouse instead of straight up when zooming out. That sounds like they're working together to me? I want to position the screen with the keyboard, zoom with the mousewheel and select stuff with cursor. And all 3 of those should be independent of each other. Why do you not want to zoom ...

... the centre of the screen is the best guess it can make. I want the zoom to happen independent of the position of the mouse so i can pan with the keyboard while zooming with the mousewheel at the same time. Having the zoom go to the cursor is distracting, confusing and at time infuriating. You ...

Im asking to be able to move the map with the keyboard without having to worry about the position of the cursor.

... this feature almost implemented in game. In blueprint editor the image is already drawing. I want `a button` for save this image as a file. The keyboard has the Pr Sc button with this feature already! A cool little game I played recently (Compressure) has a neat way of letting you share puzzle ...

Would having an option in the settings to drive the car in relative mode on keyboard work for you? Meaning that pressing W will turn and drive north(up on the screen), pressing S and D will drive South-East, etc. It would mean only 8 possible directions, which ...

I think if you could still have the quickbar UI from the keyboard and mouse input method, it would really be helpfull. IMO the quick panel from the controller input method is okay in what it was designed for, but it can really get uncomfortable to use when you have many items.

I agree. It would be more useful if the keyboard still worked when controller was selected. That way I could reach over and press a keyboard shortcut even if I'm mainly playing with a controller. A good example of that is if a function is either ...
