Description

It would be great if I could change the default arrow keys for moving the Camera (or scroll the screen, how do you call it?) to other keybindings. I couldn't find it in the keyboard shortcut list. That would be really nice as I have my full workflow, incl. Unity with W, A, S, D.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the editor's camera movement input handling and the keyboard shortcut list, then determine how configurable bindings are represented. Done means users can assign W, A, S, and D or other keys to camera movement without losing the existing arrow-key behavior.
