Thank you very much for the patches, the camera rotation is much better now. :)
The view names are even more wrong than that, front and back were swapped with left and right. I was avoiding changing them to avoid confusion because that's how it's always been but I've changed the names now and hopefully people will get used to it. You are also correct about the zoom direction being inconsistent with the camera rotation but for some reason that's how I personally like it. I've checked Maya and by default they have inverted mouse rotation with moving the mouse forward to zoom out. The funny thing is I had the mouse wheel working the opposite way of the zoom direction so to have everything be consistent I inverted the current zoom direction. While checking the camera I noticed that on Linux the window manager overrides alt+mouse buttons to move/resize the window so Linux users don't have the camera shortcuts (and the mouse wheel doesn't do anything on Linux either). I don't know what's the best way to fix this, if someone has experience with other Linux CAD programs I'd be interested to know what key they use for quick camera changes.
