I found out about the keys.ini file for changing keys, but I can't find how to change mouse actions. Currently the mouse scroll wheel zooms in or out (I think move_forward or move_backward). I want to change this to spin_around_cw or spin_around_ccw. Where are the mouse controls located?

Hi Madman and welcome :)
If you want to spin the world view round, hold alt, left click on your avatar and move your mouse left or right. Adding the control key to this allows you to alter horizontal viewpoint too.
Is this what you want? I've never edited any files.

Hi Madman,
and welcome, i'm sure someone will be along with pie shortly :)

I think you're talking about editing the client settings files yes? You could search the technical forum, may have been discussed there.

I know how to do it with keys. My trackball has a "scroll ring" around the ball, so it's more natural to use that for spinning around.
