I thought that what I want to do would be fairly simple, but I've spent most of the day reading the help files and trying things, then hours more doing forum searches, and still no success. My goal is to remap the orbit and pan controls in 3ds Max to some unused keys on my keyboard.

The way Max's navigation works is like this:

Press and hold middle mouse button while moving mouse = pans view
Press and hold middle mouse button + alt while moving mouse = orbits view

Instead I want to have something like this:

Press and hold Ctrl+Alt+J while moving mouse = pans view
Press and hold Ctrl+Alt+K while moving mouse = orbits view

If I can get that working I can then map Ctrl+Alt+J and Ctrl+Alt+K to the programmable buttons on my G11 keyboard which will be much easier on the arthritis I have in my hands.

I'm not a coder so I'm having a hard time with this. I almost had it working at one point but it sputtered and jerked and wasn't usable. I just want to do this one thing but I can't figure out the exact correct syntax to use. Can anyone help?

Thank you for trying to help, but that's the same thing I came up with on my own which produced the jerking and sputtering problem.

Actually as far the pan goes, just doing this

I've got a g11 myself,

its a problem with the keyboard itself, when you press the gbuttons
it will send a quick ctrl alt j and then repeat it, hence it's so jerky...

There would be a way, but it's a little complicated,

Try this.....

map one of your Gbuttons to something like

ctrl alt f1


and have this in your script
