Atomeye style key-strokes for viewport controlling and object manipulation

Dear Developers,

I've been using Atomeye to do visualization of atomistic models for years.  The Atomeye largely relies on keyboard operations in visualization of the atomistic models. To my experience, most of the key-strokes defined for viewport controlling and object manipulation in Atomeye are rather convenient in practice. So I think it would be really wonderful if these Atomeye style key-strokes (or a portion of them) defined for viewport controlling and object manipulation can be implemented in Ovito. I know people have different suggestions on using the keys to do the work. Please let me know if you have any idea on this issue.

The Atomeye style key-strokes defined for various visualization controls can be found in the following link:

Kind regards,
