You got it Max. I will add a short video here with some examples from Alibre, Turbocad, and Blender of myself inspecting a part. I also show the "zoom to mouse pointer" feature that maybe could have some tweaking done to improve it. I don't intend to offend anyone with saying that maybe there...

Thanks for the replies everyone. The Shift+arrow keys don't do what I am after but they do rotate the part without turning it which maybe could be useful but also a pain. I looked into a spacemouse years ago and that would be the best for this it seems. I use two different computers which could...
