You'll probably be ok with navigation pretty quick.

Mousewheel for zooming, right-drag in an ortho view for panning, right drag in Perspective view for orbiting.

Hold down shift and right-drag in the Perspective view for panning there.

Use ZoomTarget to zoom into a particular region (it's like MoI's zoom area tool).

To center and fill the view on a selected object, type zsa <space> all with your left hand. Space does the same as Enter, and zsa is an alias for an old command ZoomSelectedExtentsAll.

To view everything regardless of selection use zea <space>.
