    Currently WASD to look around with the camera is unbindable. This makes it really awkward for players with a non qwerty keyboard to control the camera. I was hoping that this is still one of the features to come? (Doesnt seem that hard imo.) For reference: i have an AZERTY-keyboard.

    Kind regards, Hamstie

    a non qwerty keyboard exists, but every keyboard got the arrow keys right, looking around is bound to the arrow keys!

    Yes, but that is very counter intuitive, and impossible when using hotbuild.

    You could use Auto hotkey to make your keyboard wasd or whatever you want while playing PA.

    Notice community defaults - arrows?


    That is move camera with arrow keys! It is part of hotbuild. It is not impossible.

    I ment that I only have two hands: one for pushing a key on my keyboard to select a building and an other for using my mouse to select where to build. I cant control my camera at the same time with the arrow keys! If they would just make the WASD keys rebindable i would be able to control my camera and select what to build with hotbuild at the same time, with only one hand.

    Most of the better players use the mouse middle button to move around. All depends what you are used to. But you have several options.

    Edge scroll, middle mouse, arrow, wasd, wasd using auto hotkey like is mentioned above. Maybe later they will be rebound able to suit all keyboards but I feel there is enough options as is.

    I agree that its not a pressing issue, but i just hope that its one of the features on the to-do list.
