shortcuts for "explore" mode in archicad

Hi! I am aware that the shortcuts used to explore mode are z,s,d,q. I personally don't like it at all since I don't want to be looking for letters on my keyboard when navigating - hence I would prefer to use arrows, that do not work. (MacBook). Isn't it logical that to move around would be more intuitive with arrows to start with? 

 

Since the arrows just don't work out originally, I thought about adding shortcuts but they don't work (reacts) either?

Nope I am in United States and have qwerty keyboard! But in archicad (and I didnt change anything) - the movement is  z,s,d,q... and yes I download the us version. 😄

It looks like you might have a custom Work Environment applied, I don't see any default menus like that.

The WE will affect what you see in the menus and the keyboard shortcuts.

But I always thought the Explorer shortcuts were hard coded and couldn't be changed - at least I see no way of changing them.

 

Maybe open your Work Environment palette and apply a default WE.

If you are using custom settings, make sure those profiles have been saved so you can switch back if you need to.

 

These are the standard WE profiles I have, but I have the AUS template.

You should have similar options for a standard Architectural profile.

That is even weirder, as hardcoding generally means the physical key does not actually matter, but if you are on a QWERTY keyboard and your movement keys are z, s, d, q then something has either remapped them, or some GS coder coded the glyph rather than the physical key signal and AC thinks that you are using an AZERTY keyboard, when in Explore Mode anyway...
