also, please add the ability to change the shift key to a "toggle" function as an option. sometimes holding shift gets tiring.

Can we please return "strafe/turn to cursor" to their proper key assignments, please? I don't want a toggle. I don't want it to always be on. Allowing me to strafe left/right, separately, while turning to cursor allowed for much better piloting. You can point left while strafing right, or point right while strafing right, and accomplish two completely different maneuvers. I never have to use the turn keys, as long as I'm able to control the direction I'm strafing WITHOUT it always being on.

Please stop taking away functionality. Return the keys and provide a toggle option which overrides them, or allow us three combinations of keys: turn left/right, strafe left/right, strafe left/right to cursor.

I cannot play the game, anymore, because my method of piloting depends on separate left/right to cursor keys. Why? Because I manually target my turrets, to hit smaller ships, and cannot do that and still fly when toggle is on. But I always want to be able to immediately strafe to cursor WITHOUT a toggle/holding down a key. I can't do that, now, because it completely screws up what should be simple flying.

When not using "turn to cursor" you can strafe left-right using q & e.
When using "turn to cursor" those strafe buttons move to a & d.

Personally I'd be happy if a & d always strafe, and q & e turn when not using "turn to cursor". That would be more consistent.

Could be wrong here, but I think this issue is fixed for Macs and Alex develops on a Mac. If this is true, I don't think he realizes how big of a quality-of-life issue this is for the rest of us.
