Camera Rotation

[Elvoc]

Would be awesome if we could get Q & E added to rotate camera instead of middle mouse. Helps with Keyboard navigation a lot..

It's the only thing I don't like about this game, to be using the central button to turn the camera. It becomes quite uncomfortable, and the function that turns the camera alone is even more exasperating. Enabling the Q and E would be great, but not a 90 degree turn please. In small angles to rotate as preference...

Yes, please. We need this option to rotate the camera with Q and E. I can't stand using the middle mouse button.

And, let us map Q and E as we wish. Some games hard code the Q and E rotation backwards, and I can't wrap my head around it. So, let us choose which direction Q and E rotate the camera, please.

This will also give us the added ability to rotate the camera while attacking and breaking things. Currently when holding the mouse button down to attack/break things, it is almost impossible to rotate the camera at the same time since we can only use the middle mouse button. It's just too cumbersome.

FYI you can map that function to any button you like.
My middle mouse button doesn`t work so i switched it to right mouse button and it doesn`t feel uncomfortable or cumbersome.

Having 2 more separate bindings for camera rotation is a nice addition, but not a mandatory one.

So i tried mapping those keys with the key change and Q and E do not work that way, they become interaction keys not camera keys..

Hey developers - any chance you will add the option to let us rotate the map with Q and E, or whatever keyboard controls we want? Using the middle mouse button is the worst option in my opinion.

I remapped the key to the thumb mouse button and my playstyle is to hold the button down most of the time. So the camera turns with the character.

I changed mine to right mouse button for now, but I would much rather have rotation on two keys, so I can set it to Q and E, like 95% of games that have camera rotation.

Thank you for this suggestion!

I mapped camera rotation to RMB and it feels 1000% better as my MMB is really stiff.

On a lot of games RMB is really essential (aim down sights, etc.) but in Dysmantle I've found using it for Special Item deploying a pretty infrequent use scenario, relatively speaking.

So flipping Rotate Camera to RMB has been a legit game-changer in my case. Given the light use of default RMB in standard gameplay, I'm thinking changing it to Camera might be even better than the standard Q/E keys you commonly see elsewhere.

Happy to report that we are working on this.

[FroBodine]

Fantastic! Thank you for letting us know, Hazamuth.

any hope on camera zoom in closer to character? feels not comfortable so far out
