Scrolling

 

In Boson you have several different ways of scrolling. Pick the one you like most :-)

1. MiniMap

Left click on the minimap centers the display on the point you clicked in the mini map.

2. MMB Scrolling

You can click using the middle mouse button somewhere on the big display (i.e. the map where you can select the units) to center the display on that point. Note that you need 3 mouse buttons for this ;-) Usually you can press both mouse buttons at once to emulate a middle mouse button click - this should work as well then.

3. RMB Scrolling

Click somewhere in the big display and hold the mouse button. Now move the mouse with the righ mouse button still pressed and the display follows your mouse movements. Release to stop scrolling.

4. Cursor Keys

You can also use the cursor keys to scroll the display. There is not much to say about this - except that you can configure the step-size of a cursor key. Go to Settings->Configure Boson and change the number for "Arrow Key Steps". Simply enter your desired pixel value.

5. Mouse wheel scrolling

You need to configure Boson for mouse scrolling. Go to the "Settings" menu and select "Configure Boson". Change "Mouse wheel action" under the "Scrolling" tab to "Move camera".
Now you can scroll with your mouse wheel, hold down the Alt key for horizontal scrolling.

6. Cursor at the Edge of the window

(Currently at an experimental state!)
You can also scroll by moving the cursor at the edge of the window. Move the cursor at the edge of the main window and wait a moment. That's it.
Please note that you may have some problems with this if you are not playing in fullscreen mode. We recommend to play in fullscreen mode!
