What is Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead?

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a open-source turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is often described as a “zombie game”, but there is much more to it than just zombies.

The game is procedurally generated, which means that each playthrough is unique, and it features RPG-like skill progression system and is often considered as an epitome of a modern roguelike.

It’s notable for its high level of difficulty and its emphasis on realism, and you must manage attributes like hunger, thirst, and fatigue, as well as deal with injuries and illnesses.

Does anyone use the "move view" keys? (self.catadda)

Does anyone actually use the "move view" keys? These are, by default, the shift-movement keys; they recenter the view persistently on a location offset from one's character. I occasionally hit them by accident.

I just can't imagine much of a use for them. Maybe being in a firefight at long range and wanting to see what's coming temporarily, but it seems like an incredibly niche use, and they tie up a bunch of keybindings by default.
