When viewing the build area, and with 'Rotate' selected, it is almost possible to do all of the things one needs to do without having to toggle modes to 'move camera' or 'move viewpoint'.

The middle button wheel scroll is mapped to zoom in/out: good
left drag is mapped to rotate: good

there are two mappings left: the right mouse drag, and middle drag. if either one of these remaining ones was mapped in 'rotate' mode to 'pan-- ie, move viewpoint', then most all things you need would be available in the main choice.

I would recommend that holding down the scroll wheel while dragging is pan, while holding down left mouse is rotate.

This is not a huge deal, but i think it would make manipulating views much more convienient.
