Yeah,

I see what you mean with Shift-F. It reminds me of the airplane mode in Mojo world. It feels out of control, and that is the last place where you want to lose conrol, in camera mode. It needs to be more precise.

But thats not what I want or the way it should work, in my opinion.

When I hold down shift and middle click in the camera viewport, it should apply my mouse moves as translation to the camera directly, not the viewport itself. There is a slight difference and it speeds up work flow tremendously.

Do you know what i mean? Have you used this feature in max or maya?
