Keyboard Controls in piste map
Loving the game so far. :) I'm using a keyboard to play (no mouse or controller), and can't seem to navigate around the piste map itself (the piste map screen navigation [menu, next/prev mountain, toggle overlay, add/remove marker] all work fine). But when I try to use directional controls like arrow keys or WSAD to move between the various lift icons on the map, for example, it doesn't do it. Instead, it just snaps to the navigation controls in the corners. So unless I have a mouse to click around the map, I'm stuck riding the lifts all the time.

Would it be possible to add some additional keyboard support to this screen so you don't need the mouse here? It seems like the only place in the game that strictly requires a mouse. My suggestion would be to add a button on the bottom of the screen in the middle that says something like "Fast Travel" and when you select it, it zooms in on the map and centers on the nearest available lift. From there, arrow keys/WSAD should let you move from one clickable icon to the next. Hitting Escape would return you to the global piste map screen controls so you can return to the menu, go to another mountain, etc.

This would be very helpful for my use case, which is an arcade cabinet I built (uses DInput devices which I map to keyboard controls using xpadder for Windows/Steam games).
