Any way to set WASD to move camera?
It's driving me crazy not being able to do this. I need something I can use my left hand for! (i.e. not arrow keys)

You can use middle mouse too. Not what you're asking for, but just mentioning it since people seem to often not notice.

Does anyone have this working currently? The discussion for that guide has people saying it's not working with the more recent versions of the game.

You can move your camera with the Mouse and the tactical map.

Eventually you need to learn to use groups and hotkeys, and that is a pretty good reason to use your left hand.

Another is to drink tea while you play as brit.

Pretty simple thing to do if you use a free Third party program called AutoHotkey like suggested, i have used it for years, great program.

Also i remember being able to unpack, edit, then repack the game files in Company of Heroes 1/Dawn of War to edit keys, maybe check out one of the guides for how to do that.
Here is a tutorial for COH1 but some of the same principles and programs would apply for 2 given the same engine ect

back in command and conquer games I used to scroll by holding Right mouse button for dynamic scrolling, it still sucks to this day that we can't do that here without 3rd party solutions.
you will just have to deal with it or click on the mini maps instead.
you can still remap the entire hotkey grid using 3rd party software but it is questionable in terms of ToS

Hey, I made a tool for this exact purpose! You can also use Q and E to rotate the camera ;)

(Made it for CoH 1, but it should work for 2 as well, might have to change the title in the script)

And how do you undo this bro?

Thats the Stinger ,
You cant.

Only joking.
I couldnt get it to work ,Bit Defender flaged it.

However if it does mimic autohotkey then I assume in bottom right hand hidden icons you can can right click on exe and exit.
Interestingly I have used the .ahk that is part of this package with AutoHOTkey and it works great -I just have to use autoHOTkey to get it happening ,Bit Defender does not like the included exe in the package you refer to.

ALSO ,COH3 allows an alternate default WASD for map movement as an option -as well as full key mapping as well for those inclined. One reason for buying COH3 as well to play with -just get it on sale though.
