Right click for moving the camera
Hello, can you add the ability to move (moving, not rotating) the camera when pressing and maintain the right click please? Thank you in advance!

Something wrong with your middle mouse button?

Middle mouse = rotation.
My suggestion is about MOVING the camera, that what WASD actualy do.

Shift/ WASD is fast flight. Makes a huge difference.

I don't want to be fast, I want to be precise, with the mouse, not the keyboard.

You can re-bind this in the Splash Screen. Go to the Input tab before starting the game. Bind the "Mouse 2" entry to Right-Click (will show up as Mouse 3), and bind the "Mouse 3" entry to right-click as well. Now Right click can be held for rotation, and will also deselect the current selection. The only time this is wonky is sometimes when you're trying to rotate the camera while viewing inside a factory, it will deselect the factory and you have to click the roof again. A small annoyance to put up with to have the rotation on the right mouse button where it belongs.

I don't want right click rotate the camera, but I want to make right click M O V I N G (you understand what "moving" means?) Moving, when you move, not rotate, moving, forward, backward, to the left and to the right. Someone can translate that for me please?

My apologies, I was quite tired when I replied, and misread what you wrote. While I can understand some frustration that you've not received the answer you were after, a condescending response was unwarranted.

Rotating the camera is moving the camera.
Panning the camera is Also moving the camera.
(if the game let you, throwing it in the air would also be moving it, but would not be rotating or panning)
Zooming is generally not considered to be moving the camera (mostly because with a physical camera, well, zoom doesn't require you to actually move the camera, it's something the camera's mechanism does. Despite the fact that many games use 'zoom to mouse', which will cause the camera to pan as well, rather than 'zoom in on the current centre point')

You are talking about Panning, but didn't specify.

This is combining with the fact that most people having camera issues on this forum are talking about camera rotation and you can probably see where the confusion comes from.

It's exactly what I want: be able to pan the camera with the mouse.

if its edge panning you are wanting, you can turn that on in the settings. so instead of clicking the map you just push your cursor to the edge of the screen, might be more to you liking.

No, it's not what I want. Panning with borders is not precise nor confortable.
