VAB Camera Controls

[ayork]

Please bring back KSP1 camera controls as an option.  I play on a laptop and have no middle mouse button to click.  Makes the VAB a PIA.  I should be able to play this on a laptop without having a mouse attached.  Can't think of a valid reason the KSP1 controls should have been replaced.  They were part of a very successful program.

No.

Just give an option to rebind.

Why not both?

Controls->VAB, have everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) listed, and also the "default" button could have a "KSP1 Defaults" and "KSP2 Defaults"

Because people should move on.

What "KSP 1 Defaults"? KSP 1 couldn't keep its control schemes straight between the SPH and the VAB lol, doing this would require the developers to not only create KSP 1 mappings but also have two of them, each of which conflicts with the horizontal or vertical modes. The entire point of the KSP 2 control scheme was to forego this mess. The solution is to just not think of the KSP 1 controls cause they were a problem the developers fixed.

To address this point, I don't see why trackpad support has to involve what KSP 1 did. Why not just let the developers come up with their own solution that works with vertical and horizontal builds?
