Switch camera rotate/pan buttons?

[Reck]

I'd much rather pan with the right mouse button and rotate with the middle mouse button but when I go to customise controls it's not letting me switch them around. Could this be fixed?

I'm in favor of customizable controls but holding middle click to pan is the standard for pretty much any RTS I've played.

I must play a lot of games where these actions are switched then as i'm constantly pressing the wrong button every time I want to pan or rotate.

Hopefully we'll get the option so everyone is happy.

It's not just you. I just loaded up Sins 1 and Homeworld Remastered to double check and they both do use right-click to rotate the camera but for some reason, that just feels really awkward to me now and I'm reflexively trying to use the middle-mouse as well. It'd be nice to have this option but I suppose I'll get used to the current arrangement again in the interim.

One thing that 'is' missing from both the previous Sins and Homeworld games is the 'middle-click to focus selection' function. In both named games, middle-click used to zoom to your current selection but now, by default, that function is assigned to something inconvenient like 'Ctrl-Space' and can't be mapped to the middle-click. It'd be nice to have the old, more convenient placement of that function back (at least as a mappable option).

I find i rarely want to rotate and always want to pan so pan on right click would be much easier.

C&C being the only RTS I've ever really played on PC, I'm always trying to pan with right click too. I'm a one handed RTS player, I never touch w, a, s, d. Right click camera panning would be great. It works on middle mouse click too (by default) but I'm constantly panning around the screen, much more than rotating. You can rotate to look where you want to go, but it's just disorientating imo

What I did was: assigned random buttons as keyboard bindings for:
"Camera Rotation with Mouse"
"Camera Panning with Mouse"

Closed the game.

Then I've opened AppData\Local\sins2\settings\input_bindings.json (same folder where settings.json is located)

find:

"enable_camera_rotate_with_mouse": [
{
"keyboard_key": "some_key_you_assigned"
}
],
"enable_camera_pan_with_mouse": [
{
"keyboard_key": "some_key_you_assigned"
}
],

Change like this:

"enable_camera_rotate_with_mouse": [
{
"mouse_button": "middle"
},
],
"enable_camera_pan_with_mouse": [
{
"mouse_button": "right"
},
],
