After turning the view, the forward key moves the camera sideways

In a 3D map view the player can turn around and keep scrolling, and the keys should still mean forward, back, left and right as seen on the screen. Using the map's own axes breaks this after the first turn. Here is the small rotation that fixes it and how the speed should depend on height.

Why this works

A key means a direction as the player sees it, and the player sees the screen, not the compass. So the key press has to be turned by the way the camera faces, and only along the ground, or a steep view would make the same key feel slow.

When not to use it

Skip it when the screen never turns, such as a fixed side or top-down view, where the keys can simply mean north, south, east and west. It also fits badly with a camera that follows a character, which should steer by the character.
