Yes, I know I can go through the various menus and write them all down from there, but (a) I'm lazy, and (b) I have to wait another 2 hours until the server is open for the evening in order to open up the client...

Does anyone have a text file they can share with all of the keystroke commands (like ctrl-H and ctrl-I and so forth) ?

And is there a command to reset the tracking fields in the map to "no one" and "no landmark"? (I really hate mousing it =)

great question! maybe we can all add out favorite shortcuts here and then compile them into a list and make it sticky?

my fav is the ALT key. you can use it in combination with the mouse for focusing, zooming, and orbiting your view around an object or Avatar. you'll never need to use the focus tool (shortcut = "1";) again!

ALT+ mouse = orbit left and right, zoom in and out
ALT+CTRL+mouse = orbit up and down
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+mouse = pan(slide) view

2nd fav, is the build tool "3", or "TAB";(thanks Nada). either will put you in build mode if you are already in 3rd person view.

3rd fav, "M" to toggle between mouseview and 3rd person view.

MouseWheel

Since bp stole the camera shortcuts (which i might add are the best toggles in the whole world!), all i can add is the mousewheel. if you roll it forward you zoom in on your avatar, and if you go far enough forward, you end up in mouse view, and if you roll the wheel backwards, it takes you out of mouseview and as far back as you want :-)

oh, and tab will actually cycle you throught the build menus, and then after you get to the last it will kick you out to one of the other windows, i think it is the map, although i am not sure.
