*focus client*

i for seriously guys! i've never used the mouse for my camera. i used alt+WASD constantly, compulsively. now i'm bringing up menus and can hardly function. i'm used to being able to operate the camera entirely with my left hand. does this really not bother anyone else? :eek: this is painful!

was it a bug? still works with arrow keys, but those are all over on the righthand side ;.;

Known issue. Bug report it. For more info look at the thread: Focus Beta Can not move in chat

*edit* this isn't the same issue as that exactly, so i gave it its own thread. this is about camera.

i'm seeing though that it's not a bug. it's obviously intentional as now alt makes shortcut underlines appear on the menus at the top of the screen. alt+W is world and alt+S is debug/server...but...gah. before this, technically without having a mouse, or even without having two hands i could interact in sl.

You, me, and hundreds (or thousands) more who probably haven't tried the beta client or logged onto the forums (what's a forum?). I'm hoping they'll listen and slide in an "Alt affects menus" option in the Input tab of preferences.

Well, actually it is a bug. Changes were made to the client that is going to affect everyone. The way everyone has always moved has been dramtically changed. We do not know if it was really intentional or a mistaek or limitations of Focus Beta. THe options and wording are different in the Aditi Grid. There, instead of "ENTER" opens and closes chat, you have an option for movement keys to work while chatting. Enabling that option gives you the ability to move as we always have.

Movement in chat is barely scratching the surface of what the "Focus Beta" has broken.
