Rh9 Feature Enable Modifier + Middle Mouse Button Shortcuts (Ctrl + MMB)


Feature Request: Alt, Shift, Ctrl + Middle Mouse Button Shortcuts
Hello Pascal and Rhino Team,
One of my biggest secrets: Use the middle mouse button to “'_Zoom _Selected”. Currently, Rhino allows only customization of the middle mouse button alone, but not in combination with Alt, Ctrl, and Shift modifiers (such as Ctrl + MMB). To enhance flexibility and fast navigation, I’d like to request the ability to assign macros (or commands) to combinations involving modifier Ctrl + MMB and for example, assigning _Zoom _Selected.
Thank you for considering this request!

I miss Pascal. But fortunately for us, he left us an invaluable source of knowledge.

How is the state of this request RH-87666?
I can´t look into https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-87666/Enable-Support-for-Modifier-Keys-with-Middle-Mouse-Button-e.g.-CtrlMMB

currently marked future which means it is not on the list for v9

Bump for RH-87666.

Freedom to the middle mouse button !!

Rhino should support assigning any command or macro to all eight Ctrl / Shift / Alt + Middle Mouse Button combinations.

Suggested mapping:

  • Plain MMB → Zoom Selected
  • Ctrl+MMB → Points On / Off
  • Shift+MMB → Mirror
  • Alt+MMB → Fillet / FilletEdge
  • Ctrl+Shift+MMB → UV Editor
  • Ctrl+Alt+MMB → Join / Explode
  • Shift+Alt+MMB → Trim / Split
  • Ctrl+Shift+Alt+MMB → BooleanUnion or Hide

Are just examples. Other high-frequency candidates: Array, Offset, Extrude, Group, Lock, SelLast, Zebra, Project, MatchSrf.

Native support would remove the dependency on external mouse software and give MMB the same flexibility keyboard shortcuts already have.
