Hi Berube, thanks for sending the video, that helps me understand.
That happens because MoI does different things in some cases when you do a press and release (click) versus when you do a press and drag.
When you initially click down, MoI will go into a kind of "wait and see" mode where if you release the button it will do a click action or if you move the mouse far enough with the button still down it will do a drag action.
But for the Orbit with Alt+Left drag, there isn't anything that happens with a click so it will go into directly into view manipulation without any "wait to see if it's a drag or click" happening.
You should get the same immediate behavior for Pan and Zoom if you use Alt+Shift+
Left drag for pan and Alt+Ctrl+
Left for zoom instead of using middle or right buttons there.
The behavior with Alt+Middle and Alt+Right has been like this since MoI v1, it isn't any recent change in v4.
But I think I should be able to set Alt+Middle and Alt+Right to behave like Alt+Left though since there isn't anything special happening for a click versus drag there so the "wait to see if it's a drag or up" step should be feasible to skip there as happens for Alt+left currentlly.
I'll see about setting that up for the first v5 beta.

Hello Michael,
Thank for the very thorough answer. Very good.
I can confirm that using Alt+Shift+Left gets rid of the delay. Nice and zippy. Great to see!
I've been navigating in multiple 3D software for so long that re-wiring my muscle memory will be hard.
It's also because I use multiple 3D packages all at the same time, I want them to have all the same navigation controls so the creative process is seamless.
Is there something I could modify in the .ini file to eliminate the "Wait and See" item?
Thanks for the legendary customer service. Seriously.
Best,
-Berube

Hi Berube,
re:

Sorry no there isn't anything currently set up that can modify that particular behavior.
I'll get it tuned up for v5 though and I hope to get going with v5 betas soon.
- Michael
