[Suggestion] Ability to view map while running

223 votes

While holding down W to run and viewing map (M) at same time should not stop you from running. It would be nice to view map while still running.

Please allow character movement to continue while the map is being utilized and inventory is open.

Workaround for when you want to feel like a pro:
Bunnyhop and toggle the map while in the air.
Close the map before hitting the ground.
Make sure to release W and Shift as well.

Hi,

When I am moving forward using W, and I open my map to check position, it cancels my run and I have to hit W again to keep moving forward. This is super annoying. Can you fix please?

This would be an amazing quality of life change! Would be so much better than stopping, opening map, checking map, closing map, then running again.

Would love to have the ability to check my map while I'm running. Or even add some sort of compass that I can mark locations I'm trying to get to. It can be time consuming to open my map, stop mid-run, and then carry on.

It would be great to be able to continue running while the inventory or map menus are open. It makes the game more fluid, especially when exploring. I see it as an advanced player feature, but would greatly improve the flow of the game.

You can currently do all of these things while on a mount, so it's already possible to autorun and be productive, this just needs extending to being on foot. I can already set off crafting then running while it crafts, so it doesn't feel like going into my inventory or map breaks immersion any more than crafting.
