Hi Lene (again), hi Richard,

I've noticed now that I've just replied to Lene and not to the list.

My keyboard allows me to switch between the regular arrows keys as WASD
keys, with just Fn+W. This is supported by the keyboard and there is
nothing more simple than this.

Additionally, for more sophisticated key combinations/commands, I use an
app called AutoKey that can do almost anything regarding keyboard
mapping, managing common "phrases", etc.

I've checked stack overflow and Fn+W seems to be supported on Windows
too:
https://superuser.com/questions/819422/w-a-s-d-keys-are-swapped-with-arrow-keys

So, in these cases, I think that it is better to switch keys outside QGIS.

Regards,

Jorge Gustavo
