two modes of moving the camera, first person and orbit. toggle between them with either the button or r. in first person, move camera horizontally with wasd, vertically with qe, and turn camera with arrow keys. in orbit, orbit using wasd, zoom in and out using q and e.

also let me know if any of the move speed / controls seem weird, or if the button names First Person Controls and Orbit Controls seem clear enough.

Is there a way to make it so that when you go forward with w it actually goes forward in view space rather than world space?

The keyboard controls are great! The mouse controls seem to have changed though, they don't mimic what was existing in the main branch.

hmm that's weird, are the mouse controls just inversed now? I'll check it out later today

They arn't reversed. Rather the pivot point seems to be at the camera and moving side-to-side is very slow (which might be related). In the example video, this PR is on the left and main is on the right. I first rotate both, then I move the camera in both.
