To change the current usless keyboard mapping back to pre upgrade.
i.e alt wasdec for camera control.
The current mapping is completely useless.

I read that the reason is so that things like alt-F opens File and alt-E opens *gasp* Edit. alt-W does World and alt-C does Client (if you have it).

From: Draco18s Majestic I read that the reason is so that things like alt-F opens File and alt-E opens *gasp* Edit. alt-W does World and alt-C does Client (if you have it). Lets take a real world scenario on how the alt key was used for camera positioning, and then take a real world scenario on how often a user will use the alt key to access those menus. While editing and while just walking around, a user could have the alt key depressed at all times while surveying the object one was working on, or the area one was visiting. N.B. at all times. Remapping this key has taken more functionality away than it has given, in fact, one now must avoid using the alt key altogether. I would have to say that as a new user (november) I found the "old" way intuitive, and amazingly easy to grasp. It is now painful to operate the interface. It is like someone sat down and deliberately tried to make it difficult to use.

Seriously, they need to be shot repeatedly, then put it back to how it was pre 1.11(? I think) because every since that fateful upgrade some idiot has been fooling around with every bloody key command and focus control that the game has, destroying commonly used functions just to add some crap no-one wants anyway!
