Mouse and WASD speed extremely high on my PC

Using the brand new version (yay! thank you!) but for some reason on my PC the mouse sensitivity and wasd move speed is uncomfortably high. 

Feature request: I would be so grateful if someday you added mouse sensitivity and move speed sliders in the preferences. (or even the config text file, happy to edit a value there)

I would personally set them both to about 20% the current speed.

P.S. I have an idea why it's too fast for me: I have a 240hz monitor. Could the move and rotation speeds be framerate-dependent? It feels like the camera moves 4x faster than intended and I keep accidentally scrolling stuff past the edges of the screen even with the lightest fastest tap of wasd I can manage. Using windows 10 and a geforce 1080. Thank you and keep up the lovely work!!

That's certainly an oversight! By mouse sensitivity, do you mean exclusively the camera controls? That allows me to pinpoint the problem. A mouse sensitivity slider is certainly a good idea to add!

Yes, the issue is exclusively camera speed. For me, it's the keyboard controls that are too fast but mouse could also use a slow down for my personal comfort zone.

p.s. I have to humbly admit I am an outlier who needs slower mouse than the average person. I have poor reflexes/aim/timing and always turn down aim sensitivity on every game I play, for example.

anyways, ideally, (in a perfect world where you have infinite time and energy ♥) myself and hopefully others would get great joy from several sliders! as a celebration of accessibility woot!

less important, since we can change using OS settings:

- mouse sensitivity in general, while selecting and clicking (currently fine for me however)
- mouse sensitivity when rotating the camera specifically (too fast for me but not a big deal)

more important: (for me personally, and because it is currently hardcoded)

- wasd keyboard camera movement speed (maximum camera velocity in world units per second)
- wasd movement acceleration (how soon the camera reaches max speed when holding down the key)
- wasd movement deceleration (how quickly the camera stops moving when you release the key)

(^----- currently wasd camera move speed is my only real issue with this otherwise absolutely delightful piece of a software - it's strange - tried on another computer w a different monitor and it moves way way slower, probably 1/4 the velocity and distance - as intended I'm sure! but on my downstairs 240hz pc it scrolls so fast I often scroll everything offscreen by accident in a fraction of a second - it's too sensitive for me and I move too far and overshoot by a mile) I keep thinking the camera wasd move speed is accidentally coded like like update() { x+= speed } when it should be { x += Time.deltaTime*speed } to account for variable refresh rates. But I could be wrong and respect how complex input stuff is - and how individual and subjective they are.

thanks! and sorry to take your time. I appreciate your hard work and make no demands and request zero rush! file this away on your wishlist of features that would make this great tool even greater

Thanks for the throughout reply! So for the upcoming Asset Forge 2.5.1 I've fixed several issues so the camera controls are not framerate dependent, I've also added a mouse sensitivity option in the preferences. Unfortunately not as detailed as you described, but it should be loads better!

WONDERFUL! Thank you! =)
