Can We PLEASE Fix The Control Scheme In The VAB???

[Scarecrow71]

I'm not upset at the new control scheme.  MMB to zoom in/out, hold MMB and move mouse to go up/down, hold RMB to rotate around.  Fine, that's the control scheme.  But it is horrible for the following reasons:

1. Too easy to select a part you don't want to select, which then messes up symmetry.  If you are moving up/down with the MMB and click it while over a part, you have now selected that part.  Have to hit Home to revert to the root part.
2. Similar issue with RMB.  If you are over a part and hit RMB to rotate, the PAM comes up.
3. At random times, for absolutely no reason, the view will default back to the root part.  Forget that I'm at the bottom of a 150m tall rocket, and that I spent a few minutes zooming and rotating for the right angle to place or move a part.  The game just decides to revert the view to the root part.
4. MMB for zoom stops working randomly.  It will zoom out like 50% of what it is capable of, but then won't zoom any longer.

Why on Kerbin was the old control scheme scrapped?  MMB to go up/down, arrows to rotate, +/- to zoom.  Can we please either go back to this OR allow us to map controls in the VAB?  PLEASE?

Also, bring back shift = select entire ship. Clicking the root part is hit & miss; sometimes it picks up the entire ship, mostly only what got added underneath it.

The control scheme is fine, just needs some fine-tuning. And conditional click registering (so you don't focus on things while panning for example)

Also, for rotating... People don't use WASD to do that?

I've already got my hand on the mouse to build the craft, so using the mouse to rotate and move around is just a natural act.  For me.  I'll stress for me, and I'm not talking about anyone else with that statement.  So that's why I don't use the WASD keys to rotate.
