Change Pan/Orbit mode on the fly when pressing/releasing Shift button

Change Pan/Orbit mode on the fly when pressing/releasing Shift button

You can Pan with middle mouse button and Orbit with Shift + middle mouse button. However, to switch mode you have to release mouse button first. So switching from Pan to Orbit is: release mouse button, press Shift, press mouse button.

It would be cool (and much faster) to switch mode on the fly when you press/release Shift button without necessity to release then press mouse button.

A huge +1 from me. Not being able to switch between pan an orbit on the fly is one of the things I miss most from NX, in addition to having to reach for the keyboard to switch instead of using RMB.

 

Actually, that's not entirely true - in NX I mainly used my 3DConnexion Space Pilot for pan/zoom/orbit, but with the impressive RMB menues and gestures in Fusion 360 I hardly ever touch it anymore. Not to mention that Fusion 360 lets me work from all sorts of different computers where I don't have Space Pilot.
