There's a great tutorial here with a visual image that shows all of the buttons and what not in the manual if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=27 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=27)
As for the camera view you're looking for, I think you'd want to use the up, down, left and right keys for that, if I understand correctly. You can also click "alt" to freeze your charcter's head and "ctrl" to change running modes if that's what you meant.
Hopefully something there helps.
