scroll the map with the keybaord

from Elemental Forums

It's just very anoying to click and drag the map. It would be so much interesting to be able to scroll the map with the keyboard.

Somebody said that the num pad could scroll the map, but it does not work.

My suggestion is that the num-pad move the units, since you need to be able to move the unit in diagonal sometimes, and the arrows scroll the map.

Shift-arrow keys should do it.

Shift arrow keys are dysfunctional because they move to slow.  I mean it is reeeaaallllyyyyy slowwwwwww.  Same with rotate, although that is maybe a little faster.  They are simply not practical to use.   Also, it is extremely un-ergonomic--to the point where you practically have to use two hands to use shift-arrow keys.  Why shift anyway?!?  Any why can't we rebind them to something sensible?

I use autohotkeys to create a Demigod-like layout, but even still you have to use the mouse because it goes too slow and no way to speed things up.

I've asked this before, but can we get an option to rebind this?  Shift-Arrow doesn't work on my laptop.  Don't know why, I've got shift and arrow keys, but their binding must be slightly different.  A way to reassign these in game would be great.
