It seems that in most strategy games you have to control the map (panning up, left etc) with your mouse and/or arrow keys, and I'm not a fan of either one.

The problem with using arrow keys is that it moves your hand away from all the other keybinds, and if you're like me and use keybinds a lot you end up needing to move your hand around often. The problem with using the mouse is, again, needing to move your hand a lot. It sounds like I'm lazy (and there's some truth to that) but you can really increase the speed of the game when using the keyboard instead.

So my suggestion is let us to pan the map with WASD and customize the keybinds for whatever is bindable. Believe it or not it would really enhance my enjoyement of the game, and I can't be the only one.
