No, I have not done that. I will have to try and play with it more.
Perhaps I am stuck in Edit mode thinking. I will let you know what I
think after I have played a bit more.
It might be nice to have the setting option and then the advanced
users can change key mappings as they see fit. It is at least a good
way to test it out. I don't think it would be that hard to program
based on my game programming in Panda and Pygame but then what do I
know of Blender programming?
