How should Flymode work?

Just like now: Esc to enable/disable flymode, space bar moves up and down alternately

I'll also vote for the "have an up key and down key as well, but might as well keep the space bar as-is so as not to confuse people".

I just tried it - and it perfectly works :)

The current flymode is perfectly compatible with the old one (Esc to disable and enable, space bar to move up and down alternately), but in addition, you can use Num-Pad + and Num-Pad - to move down and up (as Chuckles said, "-" moves up as it is the upper key on most keyboards - all keyboards I know, actually).

Thanks a lot for the tip, D'Lanor! I think this solution is satisfactory for everyone, isn't it?

J'Kla: I think it is sounding like it will be released in November.

It's a diafero "Beginning of November" :lol:

And don't ask me which year I am speaking about...

Hmm, while reading this thread, it stuck me that it could be nice to have a second qualifier, say ctrl, that makes you move in smaller steps, for when you want to get into position for some screenshots.

Yay, featurecreep. :P
