There's a nice option that let the user rotate around the selected object, using the keyboard only : Shift-arrow (left, right, up and down). This is really a usefull option, but it's too fast. Is it possible to slow it down by a factor of about 4, so it's more comfortable for the user ?

Cham, it's already possible to choose the rotation speed, and very easy:
just change in celestia.cfg file the "RotateAcceleration" value to e.g. 10.0,
and it will slow down very comfortably.
My little cent.

Well, will this affect other movements too ? Have you tried it, Andrea ?

Okay, I just tried it. It works, except that it's slowing down the other movements from the keyboard too (arrows, not just shift-arrows). Now, the other motions are too slow.

The shift-arrows should be adjustable, without affecting the arrows alone.

A value of 60 (default is 120) appears to be a good compromise for most keyboard motions. Thanks for that one, Andrea.

Cham, it affects both ctrl-arrow AND shift-arrow commands, but with a different speed change.
Cham, after some check, I think that your suggested 1/4 speed reduction, i.e. setting "RotateAcceleration" to 30.0, may be the right value for both commands, IMO.
