Otis, in case you are interested, here is what Jmol does with the standard
mouse click motion, in this order though not using exactly this command:

rotate X @{180.0 * _deltaY / _Height * mouseDragFactor};
rotate Y @{180.0 * _deltaX / _Width * mouseDragFactor};

But, right, there must be something about CTRL-LEFT and the Mac.
