The current PPG (for lack of a Mayan term) still seems a bit strange,

I know what you mean about jumping. But still it would be nice to have
some sort of built in interaction mode like soft had for Maya users at
the very least.

You're going to cripple yourself if you get used to using this sort of

screwed. My opinion / suggestion is to stay away from this sort of

I don't disagree. However, you can see the knee jerk reaction by others
