Image Navigation Keyboard/Mouse Commands for v4.5.0

[pindercarl]

A quick list of the keyboard/mouse commands for image navigation in v4.5.0

2D View:
Pan image: smooth pan with WASD keys, click-drag middle mouse button, click-drag left mouse button while holding spacebar, with no tokens selected arrow keys pan the view by one-grid size
Zoom image: CX keys, or scroll mouse wheel
Move selected tokens: Arrow keys
Send to back/bring to front: While mouse hovering over a token, press B to send the token to the back or press F to bring the token to the front. Useful for sorting overlapping tokens. (GM Only)

Free Camera 3D
Mouse look: Hold spacebar + move mouse, or click-drag middle mouse button
Move view: WASD keys, or arrow keys when no tokens are selected
Change view elevation: CX keys
Rotate view: QE keys
Move selected tokens (view relative): Arrow keys

Token View 3D
Mouse look: Hold spacebar + move mouse, or click-drag middle mouse button
Move view: WASD keys, or arrow keys (move is always applied to the viewing token)
Change view elevation: CX keys (this also changes the height of the viewing token)
Rotate view: QE keys
Cycle viewing token: <> keys

Holding the shift key multiplies keyboard movement.

Ping
Hold the spacebar + double-click on an image to create a ping.
As the GM, hold shift + ping will move the players' views to the ping location.

Maybe adding a hotkey for players view to centre on their current token/player (Home key?) would be good. I know there might be complications with players controlling multiple characters.

This sounds good. Maybe "Home" cycles through their claimed characters. Maybe double clicking on their portrait in CT centers on that character.

RegardingL "Holding the shift key multiplies keyboard movement.":

It would be great if shift altered mouse wheel scroll speed as well.
Additionally, having Control/Alt modify keyboard movement and mouse wheel for larger and smaller multipliers would be great.

Fine detail to zoom on a large table TV would be very helpful to establish desired grid size for minis. "Turbo" zoom would be very helpful to get around large maps quickly.

How do I hide these controls on each image window temporarily so we can take an appealing screenshot uncluttered by the UI? This helps tell the story of the game afterwards and appeals to new players when advertising a game session?

There isn't a way to remove that without someone creating an extension.

[Hector Trelane]

Thanks for the response. It'd be very useful, in my view. I suppose the Player view may be less cluttered but relying on players to do something the GM wants is... imperfect. :D

[Jiminimonka]

Or an option to toggle it on/off in the image window controls.

[Hector Trelane]

Yes this would work well

[Vass_Dts]

Just making sure we are on the same page: The panel highlighted in green can be hidden by the button above if the image is not maximized (you can't hide that if it's maximized). The zoom and pan buttons cannot be hidden.

[Mike Serfass]

For those of you who want to be able to toggle off the camera control buttons, here's an extension.
There's a new option named "Hide Camera Controls". It's set to "Show" by default.
If it meets your approval, I'll put it on the forge.

Brilliant - should be standard in the UI, but this is a first step. Thanks Mike!!

[Moon Wizard]

Just a heads up that I already had this on my list to look at once some of the other items were taken care of.

[Mike Serfass]

Nice!
Given how busy you are and priorities of fixes and features, is my extension worth putting on the forge with notes that it's a temporary "fix"?
If it gives you a little breathing space, I'm happy to oblige.

[Bonkon]

Good Day Mike Serfass :)
Thanks! This helps my players that have limited screen space a lot! I love that it is a per user option. :)

[Moon Wizard]

Probably just leave it for me; going to try to get something in for next week's updates and Forge items sort of live forever in the database, even if delisted.

[Mike Serfass]

I'll leave it then. Thanks!
Feel free to "steal" any of my code that's useful, if it saves you work.

[LargoVonBob]

can we also get the ability to change the elevation a token is at? with a working 3D view, PCs and Monsters that fly should be able to show it better. though I do understand if this isn't a priority

You just need to hover over the token, hold down the Alt key and use your mouse roller wheel to adjust height. It can go both positive and negative so if you have a creature in a pit or underwater that is cool too! :)

[LargoVonBob]

I did not see that listed, must have missed it, but thank you for letting me know

This was added many months ago; not the most recent patch.

[Moon Wizard]

In the latest update, the image navigation panel is now hidden by default, and a new toggle button added to image toolbar.

I click on the navigation button on my map, and I am getting an error. I tried it with just the core ruleset without any extensions.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Works fine for me. Please provide details of the error.

It's also throwing the same error for my Pathfinder 1e game, but not my 2E game.

[ssostac1]

I think I've narrowed it down. It appears to throw the error after you click on the Increase Size button, then open the navigation bar. Clicking on the Decrease Size button seems to work though.

Thanks for the additional details. Others are having the same issue when the image is maximized: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?80967-Toggle-Navigation-Panel-button-throwing-errors-and-not-working-in-maximized-image

This should be enough for the devs to track down the cause. Thanks for reporting and providing additional details.

EDIT: hopefully it's been fixed: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?80967-Toggle-Navigation-Panel-button-throwing-errors-and-not-working-in-maximized-image&p=712691&viewfull=1#post712691

I just pushed a fix for the navigation panel toggle button script error when the image is set to a background panel. Please run a new Check for Updates, and try again.

[ssostac1]

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks MW amd Trenloe for your rapid response! Great job as always!
