  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.

  While auto-running on foot, if you open the map the auto-run stops. After you close the map, auto-run resumes.
  
  This is not an issue when using a mount, which leads me to believe this is a bug while on foot.

  Instead of a MAP screen (since this does not pause game)... Would it be possible to have the Explorer pull up a "tablet" device for map functions. This way movement and situational awareness would still be in play. Map would be considerably "smaller" to view, but still could use the zoom and move functions through different key-binds. Only saying this since mouse wheel would stow the map and begin the inventory scroll. But right click+hold and mouse move could still move the map. Left click+hold and mouse move maybe for zoom?
  This would allow movement keys and other action keys to remain in active state.
  In order to preserve current MAP screen. Perhaps a double "M" invoke. First press, bring up tablet. Second "M" press while tablet is active = "Zoom" tablet to full map screen.

  You can already do that. Just toggle sprint on with " ; " (for me) and then look at the map anytime.

  Same for Me Mikey " ; " does the trick at autorun
  
  Just check your keybindings

  If you turn auto movement on colon semi colon button, you can then open the map while you are still moving and can navigate. You just cant see where you are going.

  To all the "semi colon" commenters: This does not work if you are not on a mount. Additionally, why would you shoot down someone's idea for a QOL improvement just because there is a workaround? If I have to turn on a setting (sprint toggle) to make this work best, then that's a terrible workaround, as some of us hate sprint toggle, especially in this game, where once you run out of stam, it doesn't disable and will keep your stamina drained until you stop the toggle. Devs - please just add this feature with no strings attached.
