if you're inside, alt+arrows spins the room but if you're outside why leave the mouse to use the arrows? alt+LMB and alt+RMB rotates the map.

Both uses (mouse or arrows) work perfectly when you are outside.

correctamundo, but my point was that you don't have to take your hand off the mouse to rotate the map when outdoors. @m didn't provide him with both methods and the mouse method is easier. but for you ick, you often take your hand off the mouse reaching for that shot glass of ouzo!

Well using your arrows may be better because you might just press the mousebutton before you press alt if you dont pay attention or if your keyboard screws up and doesnt register the alt then you won't have to reload your game if it accidently makes you do something that alerts the enemy.

Well imagine that you are in the middle of a few moves you need to do to take out several enemies at the same time and it requires you to change your camera angle, if you need to do it so quick it might happen.

ehm, you know you can split the screen in preparation for any move, that might require changing screen direction..

Yes, but this wont work when you got several different places + large distances, also, it might take more time to change to another selection screen than to change the camera angle
