I think that rotating view with mouse could be greatly improved by adopting "constrained" rotation, i.e. where projection of axis normal to (current) starting view is constrained to be vertical (similar to AutoCAD SHIFT+middle button view rotation). This kind of rotation is much more precise and intuitive, and the missing degree of freedom (tilting, i.e. rotation around axis normal to screen) could be achieved like in "Gesture Navigation" Mouse Model (https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Mouse_M ... 28v0.16.29).
How hard would it be to add this feature?

I didn't check, but maybe we should have a shortcut for it.DeepSOIC wrote:Edit->Preferences->Display->Orbit style-> change to Turntable.

There is another option:

I just noticed i reversed them and therefore i will create a pull request in the following days to sort this out. As for the shortcut. I will add support for both options to be made available in ShortCuts as a part of the same pull request:

P.S. Would do that today but no time ATM.
