What does this page cover?

The official Viewport Controls page documents navigation, selection, transform, and display controls for Unreal Editor viewports in Unreal Engine 4.27.

How do I change camera speed while navigating?

When navigating with WASD while holding RMB, you can roll the mouse wheel up to speed up movement or down to slow it down. If you use a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad, adjust the Viewport camera speed option instead.

Where do I enable distance-scaled camera speed or orbit around selection?

Open Editor Preferences, go to Level Editor > Viewports, expand the Controls section, and enable the related options there.
