I've in the last days added a new feature to the UFO. You are
probably aware of the "mouse walk" thingy -- a way to navigate
the UFO quickly with the MMB-dragging (Middle Mouse Button) in
pointer mode. Now it's also possible to move and adjust
objects that way, so that the adjust dialog isn't necessary
most of the time.

The button combinations may look hard to memorize at first, but
they are quite convenient once you got used to it. I'm aware
that people using MMB-emulation have a problem pressing MMB+LMB.
You can use the 'g'-key as an alternative for now (until I found
something better).


Navigation mode:        left/right             up/down
-----------------------------------------------------------------
       MMB           turn left/right       forward/backward
       MMB+LMB       move left/right         move up/down


Object mode (+Ctrl):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
  Ctrl+MMB         move obj left/right    move obj away/nearer
  Ctrl+MMB+LMB    rotate obj left/right    move obj up/down


Note that objects aren't rotated around their individual centers,
but around the active object. That's the last selected one with
the red marker ('m'-key).
