Navigating in World (External) View?

[lsheppard]

OK, I've figured out how to move around in external view using the keyboard arrow keys. Forward, back, left, right, up, down -- but, I still haven't been able to find a key combination to rotate or tilt. I always have to use the mouse. Is there any way to ROTATE, or TILT in world view using the keyboard?

It is listed on your Quick Reference Card.

Hold the Ctrl key while pressing the arrow keys

I couldn't find anything in the Quick Reference Guide about TILT and ROTATE in view 8. I tried CTRL-LEFT and CTRL-RIGHT on my keyboard, but they simply move me left and right, the same as without the CTRL key. I am running TS-2012 on a laptop. Perhaps it is my keyboard mapping that does not work exactly the same as a desktop computer?

The only way I have found to rotate in View 8 is to hold down my right mouse button while moving the mouse. The mouse works great for rotating and tilting, but then I seem to have to go back to the keyboard to move left or right, or back or forward. I just wondering if there is away to either avoid the mouse altogether, or avoid the keyboard altogether when navigating in this particular view?

That is correct ctrl up/down is raise/lower the camera, I though that is what you wanted, sorry. There is no keyboard setting to tilt or rotate to my knowledge. I always use the mouse for that.
