To begin with, I understand that mouse look is more convenient for controlling the depth of dive, but figured that in some cases a pure key-based approach could still be useful. When the former is, for example, reserved for looking around or, say, giving out movement commands to other players, etc.

What do you guys and gals think about this feature; even if not necessary, would it at least be helpful to have as an alternative to mouse look in this scenario?

Upvoted.
The simultaneous WASD + Z/X is useful when using Freelook.
