Mouse-button function assignment

Hello,

I don't want to add unnecessary workload for you guys, but it would be very productive if we could map the Alt+ functions to different mouse buttons in Studio Preferences, such as:

select: LMB
pan: MMB
rotate: RMB
...etc.


With a setup like this, the Viewport context menu might need to be put behind a new button on the Viewport toolbar, or mapped to LMB+RMB.

It's a wish, anyway. :)

Thanks for all of your hard work - Maxwell is amazing!

I agree totally. Coming from our main 3d app it makes sense that the user should be able to keep the mouse buttons consistent across applications. Having to go between 2 different modelling apps then maxwell my head is spinning, and my fingers hitting wrong buttons because I am used to how pan zoom etc are set up in those apps. As soon as I get close to getting comfortable with maxwell mouse navigation I go back to my modelling app and start clicking on the maxwell buttons. Arrrrrghhhh. Its a workflow killer.

Even better if this also could be made as a pulldown of presets (for all 3d applications that Maxwell supports), so that one could choose the preset that correspond to the 3d application of choice .. in my case 3ds max 8.
