Running backwards

When you use click to move and click behind your character, your character turns around and runs to the clicked point without your camera moving. To accomplish this using only a keyboard, one must hold down the "look behind" button, turn their character around, and run forward while enduring inversed directional keys. Or one could backpedal, which is much, much slower. Why not have a command that allows your character to run backwards so that us players using keyboards instead of mice as our source of movement aren't at a disadvantage? The option to backpeddle would still be available, it would just have to be bound to a different key (or have run backwards bound to a different key).

X then up arrow keys would be faster.

still have to hold down y

=/

and just pressing s would be fastest, if such an option were available

I don't know the word but I want a jump forward =D

or side-rolling xD

If you press X, the camera turns 180 degrees for you. You can then proceed to run like normal, without inverted controls.

What does Y do when you hold it, anyway?
