What Camera Mode Do You Use?

[puzzledpaul]

Unsure how 'instant' results are obtained in Maya mode ...

Hard to explain, Paul, but i'll try.
Maya, Blender, Max cameras work by holding a modifier key and a mouse key, drag mouse and release the keys.
Mirai, Wings cameras work different way. Tumble requires mmb click to start and lmb to end (one key more).

My initial query was with your use of the word 'instant' ... which, to me, implies that a feature / function is available to the user without them having to do 'something extra' before doing what they actually want to do.

In the case of both Wings and Maya modes, user has (in my terms) instant access to dolly (scroll wheel) and pan (arrow keys) ... because user gets a response as soon as they use the appropriate 'switch'.

Other functions (or the same functions via a different route) are unavailable to user unless they 'do' something else ... in Wings - mmb, in Maya - press (and hold) Alt.

If user doesn't do these, then the mouse is dead (apart from scroll wheel, as previously mentioned).

My comments on this discussion are purely from what I consider to be a logical viewpoint - I have no say in what's going to happen.

If, for instance, all modes using mod keys are dumped - I can't see why other mod key free modes can't continue to be supported ... or, in fact different mod key modes from those already implemented - eg A wings mode that also uses mmb to accept (with user pref for keystroke duration?) ... then mmb would do it all.
