Hi there!

It may be possible that I lack some information to use it properly, but it appears that in order to use Camera controls and Movement controls, I need to set them on screen each time I connect to SL. Is there a way to set to have them on my screen each time I'm online or should I suggest that it would be possible to specify somewhere in the preferences that I wish to have them on my screen? Or having the possibility to use a shortcut with my keyboard would be nice too. :)

Thank you!

Try using alt-cntrl-shift and moving your camera around with the mouse - with a bit of practice it becomes second nature.... and then you find yourself trying to do it when you aren't in Second Life :-D

I'm with Osprey on that, same with scroll wheel on my mouse... VEWY handy for zooming in and out without holding down Alt. I tried to do it in There, for crying out loud—I think SL's camera controls are exceptionally flexible in this regard unless anyone can think of other great examples to emulate!

Yes, it's working for the camera controls... but what about the movement controls? And it's not as precise as the small arrows control...

Why having those controls in the menu if we can't even decide to have them to pop each time we connect to SL?

Thank you!
