Remapping Camera Movement

[quirkeduppuppy]

Moving the camera with middle mouse sucks is there a way to remap it? I've scoured the settings and cannot for the life of me find the keybind.

The default should be awsd.

In the key bindings, they are "Move view/cursor" and up/down/left/right/z as well as "fast" for each (by default shift+ the same key).

Get v2

When you use the documentaiton for AHK be sure it says v2 up top. They have forums there that'll help you with anything.

For Steam:

#HotIf WinActive("Dwarf Fortress")
XButton1::MButton
MButton::XButton1
#HotIf

I'm with you and for most of my games, swap mouse4 and middle-mouse.

If you don't have a mouse4, then you'll have to get creative. You need it on the mouse somewhere.


For GeForce NOW:

#HotIf WinActive("Dwarf Fortress on GeForce NOW")
XButton1::MButton
MButton::XButton1
#HotIf

For v47.05:

(in the file hack/init/onLoad.default)
mousequery edge disable
mousequery drag right

Most pro-gamers grips will always rest the left or middle finger on the middle mouse button. Some rare breeds use a finger for each button. I found it interesting. I can drop some references if you're curious about grips or mice.

If you need any help with AHK lemme know. I find it's the easiest way to get games todo what I need them todo.


EDIT:
If you're on Linux the closest to AutoHotkey is called AutoKey

Fixed an oversight for the Steam Version

#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe Dwarf Fortress.exe")
XButton1::MButton
MButton::XButton1
#HotIf
