Cad like controls#5176

T

I recently started playing Shapez 2 and I really like it so far. I would love to have more flexibility in control customization, especially options that align more closely with CAD-style workflows.

Currently, I’ve been able to set:

Middle mouse button for panning
Shift + middle mouse for rotation

However, I would like to change how area selection works. At the moment, dragging with the left mouse button requires a modifier key for area selection. I would prefer an option to:

Use left mouse drag for area selection by default (without a modifier key), similar to CAD software
Disable the modifier requirement entirely for this action

Additionally (less important, but a nice-to-have), it would be great to have directional selection similar to CAD tools like AutoCAD:

Dragging from left to right = select only fully enclosed items
Dragging from right to left = select all intersecting items or potentially use this for deletion instead of left mouse button

This would make selection more intuitive and efficient, especially for users familiar with CAD-style controls.

Summary:
I’d like the option to remove the modifier key requirement for area selection and have more CAD-like selection behavior.
