Changing mouse navigation

[Anonymous]

I've been looking around this question for years now, and all the answers i get is "why would you want to do that??" or "get used to the maya navigation tools" I'm sick of it, a perfect program is meant to say why WOULDN'T the program do it. So i'm asking programmers, there MUST be a way to dolly using ONLY the middle mouse button, please help me out here.

I can understand you, I had the same problem when I searched for a way to deactivate the "Output window". Most common answer, just minimize it. It took me several months until I found the way.

Back to your problem. You can dolly just with just the left or middle mouse button, when you open the Dolly tool (View->Camera Tools->Dolly Tool). However it is not possible anymore once you leave the dolly tool. I think this is not what you really search for, but maybe it can help you a little.

thank you for the answer, this software has been around for years, you
would have thought they had perfected navigation. I was aware of the dolly
tool, I'm just thoroughly disgusted maya programmers don't have enough
brain power to let the user assign mouse hotkeys to simple tasks!
