Settings
Introduction
The Settings module lets you customize the default behavior of EVE WHMapper for your session. You can configure keyboard shortcuts, mouse and zoom options, and map layout parameters.
Once saved, these settings are automatically applied every time your primary character connects — you never need to reconfigure them between sessions.
How to Open Settings
Click the Settings entry in the left sidebar menu.
The Settings dialog opens with three tabs: KEYBOARD, MOUSE / ZOOM, and MAP.
Keyboard Tab
The KEYBOARD tab lets you rebind the default keyboard shortcuts used on the map.
Click on any field and press any key to change its binding.
