My setup is a little different. All key-bindings are modified using the options screen (Alt-o).

I map shift-Z to my first person camera, scrolling back on the mouse-wheel kicks me back to the 3rd person view you mentioned.

I map shift-X to the 3rd-person camera view that doesn't turn you but lets you see all around you, sorry, not logged in and can't tell you exactly which camera view that is.

I switch between those two cameras constantly, and since these apply to the client and not character it behaves the same way between all my toons.

Likewise, I have shift-C and shift-V set to open all bags and close all bags, way helpful.

I also have my strafe left button (A) overridden to also press hotkey10, which on all my characters does a sense heading, and a loc, and any other character specific thing I may want to train up (forage, track). This way it automatically gets hit everytime I hit the A key. ZLizmaps and Nparse can both use this to display your location and orientation on their maps, but even if you don't use those tools having a loc close to where you died is very helpful in locating your corpse, and seriously, who actually clicks a forage button?

appreciate the feedback on the camera stuff

You know what I love? I love how every single guard in every single town, and every single guard tower in the entire game are stuck in an endless loop of dying over and over and over

I was trying to do the stein of moggok quest, and stopped by erudin for the Erud's tonic. Figured I'd hit up the bank there. Being bound 4 zones away in NK wasn't a big deal because there was no way I was going to die in a major city

NOPE. Turns out friendly fire is a thing. And as soon as I teleported into the palace, it was a war zone of massacred guards like every other city in this game. My screen had barely finished loading when I was hit for 850 damage by some NPC wizard's AOE because I happened to have teleported in near someone killing guards

Gotta love min/max culture which requires everyone and their mother camp every guard in the game 24/7. Really gets you immersed...
