I can't get along with any camera mode but overhead view. This is sad, because you miss all that eyecandy from a lot of mods.
I've grown rather attached to the HW controls. They're simple to learn, allow you to look at all that eyecandy floating about and also allow you to actually play the game while doing so.
Camera to be used could be the view free camera trepan added, however it needs rather strong deceleration so it doesn't cruise around the battle field but is accurate instead.
Keymaps:
ALT+LMB = focuses on one unit
ALT+LMB drag = focuses on a group
moving screen by any means breaks focus
MMB (held) = rotate camera around x-/y-axis
also locks cursor into place
hides cursor (not essential), unhides when released
LMB+RMB (held) = stepless zoom
hides cursor (not essential), unhides when released
space = sensors manager <DONE>
optional:
CTRL+LMB = force attack
CTRL+LMB drag = force attack on a group of units
Some button to reset the cam so it faces north
Most of this shouldn't be too difficult to do. I'd give it a shot but I have no clue as to where start looking and uh... yeah.
