While checking out my empire in camera mode, I accidentally pressed shift-alt-f instead of ctrl-alt-f to get out of flying camera mode, and it disabled the mouse camera. The mouse arrow came back and I could select units and give orders to units; I didn't try but I'm sure that I could change city builds as well. I couldn't find any reference to this on the forum, so I thought I'd post it.
This left me able to zoom in and out and move left and right with the arrow keys, but not able to move the map by going to the edge of the screen with the pointer.
This way, you can, especially by using satellite camera (alt-f; works while in flying camera mode) play from basically any point of view you want as long as your computer can handle displaying multiple units and cities.
The only drawback is that after a battle (successful or not, stack selected or not), your view gets reset in some respects, and you can left-click on a city, which brings up city noises but you don't actually go into the city screen and so you cannot assign specialists.
This last problem makes me wonder whether there is a way to reassign which plots the population of a city are working from the main screen... does anyone know?
