It's not a very popular one though. Sorry, no CAD experience. Not that I would think that they are particularly consistent. Besides, 3d editing programs tend to become advanced enough that they allow reconfiguring input. I would prefer having rotation on rmb, pan on mmb and zoom on the wheel. No modifiers necessary for the most-used commands. It does eliminate the possibility of a context menu. On the other hand, it does make it easier for new users to discover this feature. I didn't find out about it until I read the source code... Don't have much GTK experience, but I added mouse wheel support (attached). Unfortunately, GTK doesn't support any way of configuring sensitivity, so it's basically hit-or-miss how well it will actually work for different users.
