arrow keys - bug or feature ?

Well I expected arrow keys on the keyboard to move the "camera" view off the screen.

However I had 1 ship selected with some move points left and this moved this ship ....
Is it OK ?

I think the arrows should move the map; currently they dont.
Actualy I think we should be able to change our controls.
Future patch maybe??

Yes, I am constantly doing this too. I don't know where I developed the habit, probably from RTS, but I can't seem to break it. It would be great to be able to change these.

I agree, arrow keys should move the map, that's the way I like to do it...

The arrow keys are supposed to move the ships. 

We don't currently have a way to let you reconfigure the keyboard controls and I don't know how easy it would be to add that functionality.

Any chance of making the L and R arrow keys move between shipyards or colonies when on the approriate screens? It's annoying to have to move mouse to top Right corner, click button, move mouse to other part of screen, make change, move mouse to upper right corner, repeat until Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sets in.
