Centering your character or moving about with targeting...

[Delmuir]

So... If I want to teleport ten turns south but I reach the edge of the visible screen at four turns, I can't navigate any further south. So, if I toy with moving the targeting around the bottom of my screen, I can sometimes get it to dance down one or two but rarely can I get it the entire way. Why can't I just tap down and have targeting and cursor go down? Why is it restricted? Why is it ever restricted on anything?

Is there a way to change this?

There's a function in the ui called
Map:moveViewSurround.

What it does is complex, but basically it grabs the view and tries to either center it on the character or force and edge alignment of the visible part of the map w/ the screen edge.

This bhv drove me nuts because I play on a small screen and inevitably, fights on the edge of the map would be underneath the minimap or some other part of the ui. Combine this w/ the screen scroll, which only lets you move one tile at a time and then moveViewSurround slaps you right back next turn. I found this extremely aggravating. This bhv makes perfect sense on large screens, but w/ limited screens, its really not what one wants.

I made an addon to address this.

Would it help to lower the scroll distance setting?
