Simple Newbie Question - Rolling

I know how to move around but the rolls in any direction happen randomly for reasons I don't get. I've experimented but cannot find the magic combination.

How do I get my character to do this?

Your indulgence is much appreciated.

    double click with the direction key you want to roll in (such as "W" for forward)

    Indeed, there is also a cooldown timer for it... so you can't just role everywhere, same timer as Shift for burst of speed. But doubletap W, S, A, or D to roll that way.

    Depend on your camera position if you are behind your character and tap forward it will roll away from you. In front and it roll away from you.
    It seems the roll is based on the camera not the character.

    very true, but u need to have disabled 'turn with character' and while I have (and apparently you too), I suspect many others have not.
