Often when building ghosts in the map I find the speed of using WASD to pan the map too fast. I try to pan the map using the mouse, but I have to put the item back in my inventory for that. I thought maybe if I bind the button to drag the map to something else, it would work at the same time I have an item in the cursor, but it does not. I thought surely someone else would have found this as a problem, but I didn't see anything in my forum search. So I would like to suggest a slider in the options for WASD map panning speed and/or the ability to drag the map with an item in the cursor if the button for dragging is not the same as the button for placing an item. Also at the time of writing this, I noticed I CAN drag the map with an item in the cursor but only if I am not zoomed in close enough to see the actual game.

this is an old post but I'm still running into this issue! I don't see many people talking about it. I have to barely tap WASD in order to not jump an entire city block across my base. with K2SE the nav satellite moves at a nice speed and I'm fine with the map moving at higher speeds when you scroll out more. but as it is it's difficult to operate only from the map
