ViewCube keyboard shortcut?

Is there way to assign keyboard shortcut to do same thing as holding left mouse button over the ViewCube and movng mouse?

E.g. hold Ctrl + MMB (middle mouse button) and move mouse.

 

Reason i dont like Alt + MMB or Ctrl + R (orbit view mode) is because it rotates view around the center of viewport, cube does same when no object selected, when object selected cube rotates view around that object!

 

Its such a time waste to look at cube then move mouse to it aim exactly at cube ... with keyboard modifier all needed to do it to hold button.

Change the Orbit type to Orbit SubObject (click-hold the Orbit button at the bottom/right of the Max window until it "flies out" and choose the bottom one of the three).
Using Alt+MMB will then orbit the middle of the viewport if nothing is selected, the centre of the selected objects or the centre of the selected sub-objects.
