I searched for this topic and didn't find anything for what I need.

Clicking the mouse wheel is EXTREMELY inconvenient for panning around. Is there any way at all to reconfigure it for a different button method or a specific key on the keyboard?

I've never needed to reconfigure Oblivion controls but isn't there a section for it in the in-game options?

If not, a script using IsKeyPressed and TapControl functions might work. My doubt with that idea is that TapControl running repetitively while you hold down your new pan key would probably just rapidly change from 1st and 3rd person views... Does anyone know of a function like TapControl which holds the control down until told to release?

Having said that. Does holding R not have the same effect as holding the mouse wheel? When I tap the mouse wheel I switch between 3rd and 1st person, which is the same as tapping R...

Bit of a confused self-narrative but maybe something I'm thinking will help.

Maybe...

You can also pan by holding the spacebar down while moving the mouse. Check out http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Render_Window for more useful shortcuts/alternatives. http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Shortcuts also has some useful stuff.
