Just got the game..
It's just very annoying that I have to use both the Mouse AND Arrow keys to move to places in the game...
Is there a better way to do this? ... Maybe a mod or option that zooms to where your cursor is?

Hey there @Major-Snacko,
Sorry to see you're finding some frustration with the default controls of the game.
I'm not really able to suggest any specific mods, but there is a feature in the game by default that will allow you to save specific spots on the map and return to them with a single button press. Not exactly what you're asking for, but it may help alleviate some frustration!
To do this you will be using F5 - F10. If you hold Ctrl and hit one of those buttons it will "Save" the position where your camera is. Later if you just hit the F# button, it will return you to that position. Using each of the different F# buttons will allow you to save up to 6 different positions.
If by "zoom" you actually mean how close-in the camera is to the game world, there is also a way to make the zoom focus on your cursor instead of the center of the screen in the options menu. The option is under Game -> Game Options -> Map Zooms on Cursor.
I hope these suggestions can help you enjoy the game a bit better.
Hey there @Major-Snacko,
Could you please share a screenshot of the options you see in the game's menu to map the Zooms?
Hey @Major-Snacko,
Thanks for getting back to us!
I'm afraid there's been some confusion between titles here.
Anno 1800 does not have a 'zoom to cursor' function.
I have noted this as feedback to the team though, as something for them to consider in future!
Apologies for the confusion and if there's anything more we can answer, please let us know!
