Offer alternative keyboard control schemes for the camera in Gaia. #652

Closed deanjl closed 9 months ago

deanjl commented 9 months ago

The current control scheme for moving and rotating the camera in Gaia is confusing to me, and requires combining the UP and DOWN keys with ENTER for fast ascent and descent. Users should have the option of instead using UP and DOWN to rotate vertically and Q and E to ascend and descend. This confines movement to the left hand and rotation to the right, simplifying control and removing the need to either move the left hand to the right side of the keyboard and back, or ascend and descend with the right pinky!

Given the standard desktop keyboard layout, I could see how the current scheme might be uncomfortable -

I didn't notice this in my setup because I have a specific laptop keyboard layout that does make this comfortable.
