Cf. Help->Shortcuts:

Mouse:

   move                - highlight the elementary geometrical entity
                         currently under the mouse pointer and display
                         its properties in the status bar
                       - size a rubber zoom started with Ctrl+Left button

   Left button         - rotate
                       - accept a rubber zoom started with
                         Ctrl+Left button

   Ctrl+Left button    start (anisotropic) rubber zoom

   Middle button       - zoom (isotropic)
                       - cancel a rubber zoom

   Ctrl+Middle button  orthogonalize display

   Right button        - pan
                       - cancel a rubber zoom
                       - pop up menu on post-processing view button

   Ctrl+Right button   reset to default viewpoint

   For a 2 button mouse, Middle button = Shift+Left button

   For a 1 button mouse, Middle button = Shift+Left button,
                         Right button = Alt+Left button

Best,

Christophe
