Can I customize navigation?

I'm coming from modo, where everything is customizable with scripts and hotkeys and yadda yadda. But Modo's navigation is pretty unique to Modo. Does Fusion allow me to customize pan, orbit, zoom- or am I constrained to the couple of options in the dropdown?

 

Some things I'd like to do:

  • orbit: alt + LMB
  • zoom: alt + control + LMB
  • pan: alt + shift + LMB

 

Additionally, I'd like to hotkey various orthographic views to my number pad:

  • . (the decimal): perspective
  • 1: top
  • 1: bottom
  • (pressing 1 repeatedly cycles between top and bottom)
  • 2: front
  • 2: back
  • (pressing 2 repeatedly cycles between front and back)
  • 3: left
  • 3: right
  • (pressing 3 repeatedly cycles between left and right)

At this time, you are limited to the pre-defined navigation schemes here:

Thanks Jeff. I'm used to seeing these quality of life features built into 3D apps. Does Fusion have a file I can open with a code based app and customize the navigation? It seems like the infrastructure to do this may already be in place.

 

Also your comment "At this time..." sounds like it's either planned for a future release down the road, or rhetoric used to soften the blow of bad news. Do you know of plans to implement something like this?

I don't know of any plans to make navigation fully customizable, but more options are certainly something that is commonly requested, so never say never...

Appreciate the transparency. Gave blender a try today. The app is fully customizable, the library of scripts is comprehensive, and seem to do everything I wanted from Fusion.

 

I think it's a better option for me, personally, than to wait around for hopes and maybes
