It's pretty telling that you had to reach back 26 years to find a control scheme that could be used as an analogy. I don't even know where to start with the mouse controls. Up/down translation lock after right click; reverse yaw. Thing is a test of patience!

It actually seems like the FreeCAD control scheme almost verbatim, I always hated that thing and its insistence to not provide any way to orbit around the up vector.

Like, are there people whose head does not rotate around their neck on axis but ends up sideways and rolled when they turn or something, to whom this makes perfect sense? I can't see any other explanation.
