Idea #434: Slight Trouble using the "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" button

Written by JumboJosh the 13 Dec 11 at 15:02. Category: User Interface. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I have to use Blender on my laptop. So without a 3 button mouse, I need to select "Emulate 3 button mouse" to solve this problem.(under File>User Preferences>Input.) But when I use this I have to use ALT+LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to manipulate around the scene. Unfortunately, hitting ALT and then using the left mouse button just to simply manipulate around the scene can become quiet cumbersome. Especially if you want to pan, instead of hitting SHIFT + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON you have to hit ALT+SHIFT+LEFT MOUSE BUTTON.

Solution #1: Only left mouse button

I have a simple solution: You just click and drag with the left button to manipulate around the scene, and have to hit ALT + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to place the cursor? This would make it a whole lot easier and you would need to place the cursor a lot less anyway.

Solution #2: Assign hot-keys for that purpose.

You can easily change the key mappings so they work for that. You can just make say Alt + Left mouse initiate rotating the scene.
All you have to do is find the rotate scene bindings in the hotkey editor (preferences) and then find the middlemouse button action and dublicate it. Then assign whatever combination of keys you want ;)
