GM Tool: Center Everyone's Views

There should be a way for the GM to make everyone's views center on a part of the map, rather than relying on the ping tool constantly. The Player's don't nessicarily need it, but perhaps they should, in lieu of centering everyone's views, have their pings appear as arrows when they are beyond the view of the table, so the GM can see that they are trying to get his attention but not pull him forcefully away from something he is doing.

Tim, for clarification, are you saying that you would like a method besides Shift+Ping?  Right now Shift+Ping is how a GM can recenter everyone's view.  - Gauss
one of my DMs cannot get the shift+ping to work. not sure what the issue is but it never works for him. maybe one on the toolbar would be  better. I kno wit would be easier. :)

OldSchoolChris, please have your DM filed a bug report.  - Gauss
I was entirely unaware of "Shift Ping" O_o In that case, put this under "things that need to be put in an instruction manual or readily accessible".
It's actually in the introduction movie for GMs. It's a good idea to watch it again after you have made some pages, since often you won't soak up everything first time. Like this is a great example, because it's not immediatly relevant for the GM :-)

D-P, feel free to make such a list in the wiki. :) - Gauss
Can players Shift Ping too? Because I think that if you are NOT looking at a Ping if an Arrow appeared on your screen of where a player was pinging that would be cool.
