Keyboard navigation

Fairly new player here.

Is there a way to navigate the landscape by using the keyboard? I use a mouse and it is difficult to get around. On my tablet I can scan with my finger, not so on my desktop computer.

Hey bluebelljana7 Welcome
I read that you can use the arrow keys for the map. I've not tried it on my city.
Here are some more hot keys.

If you're relatively new, then I'd suggest to simply zoom out the city view so that the whole city always fits. This way, you don't need to worry about scrolling for quite some time.

The arrow keys to move around only work on the world map, not in the city, unfortunately.

With the game only having one single zoom in and out built in, I wondered for a while how people were seeing the whole city map at one time, since I never change the zoom settings in the browser itself. It is also too bad that this cannot be done in the app.

Thanks, fortunately my city is still small and it isn't hard to get around. The outskirts of the city are another thing altogether. During the Solstice Celebration it was necessary to go all around the edges of the board and it would have been nice to buzz around the area with my arrow keys instead of holding down the mouse buttons.
