...without holding any keys on the keyboard - like a toggle. OFF would operate normally where you have to hold ctrl+alt+LMB and ON would pivot around your avatar like a third-person shooter. Also options within LSL to control camera while on an object (such as a vehicle) freely with the mouse.

You could borrow the camera options from World of Warcraft, where you can set the camera to follow from behiend always, only when you're moving, or never (which allows you to set a custom camera point). In this system, holding the left mouse button allows you to fully pivot the camera around your character.
Something like that? _____________________

Like add "keyboard & mouse" option in the preference so that allow us to change/replace... Like Fly.. change/replace to say CTRL for fly, etc.. whatever we feel comfortable! That would be awesome  ~Xia |
