While trying to dig a straight line in Ixe, I realized: Why am I using a mouse, a very imperfect approximation pointing device, to try to draw a straight line?
I'd like a way to move with keys. Something. A better way to draw straight lines.

I mean you can just move the camera with the camera keys while you dig and that draws a straight line
That's what I always do in the rare occasion I need to make a perfect line

... I got out of that habit with CW4 and the map never being aligned right.

you already have this with WASD

Wasd moves the map - I'm talking about moving the mouse pointer

ends up being the same thing, you hold down your mouse on a point then hold e.g. D key to draw a line to the right

So WASD to move the map will move too fast -- it does not let me get every spot in a line.
So no, it's not good enough.

I think it moves slower the more you're zoomed in

Shift slows down movement
