Check out Mouse Model
An aside, consider installing v0.19_pre for better stability and more features

Re: 3D Navigation like Cura & TinkerCAD?
Would also love to see Tinkercad style control. I’m surprised that this style is not more widely used, requires no keyboard strokes, and no multi button presses. Fusion 360 allows the style, and it is my favorite.
Re: 3D Navigation like Cura & TinkerCAD?
If no existing mouse navigation style (there are a few) suits you, please get to work. It's open source, everybody can contribute.

Re: 3D Navigation like Cura & TinkerCAD?
Is a custom mode possible where the user can configure these behaviors or must it be hard-coded per navigation style?
Re: 3D Navigation like Cura & TinkerCAD?
Many thanks.
I tried it and see that I cannot select it using the selection widget at the main windows' footer. I set it therefore via the preferences but then I see at the footer "Undefined":
Could you please have a look?
Re: 3D Navigation like Cura & TinkerCAD?
Many thanks.
I documented it now and this way noticed two further issues:
- the status bar widget is not wide enough, thus the names are truncated:
- the styles are not sorted. Is there a reason why they are sorted as they are?
Re: 3D Navigation like Cura & TinkerCAD?
For the documentation: Where can I find the mouse (and other) images displayed in the status bar?
