Max - Maya Navigation questions

Torch

Hey guys, after using Max a short time I was trying to find a way of rotating the viewport without the middle mouse button (feels like a workout for my index finger.)

I found out there was an option to enable Maya Navigation which is pretty handy, being a previous Maya user. What I would like to do is still retain some of the Max modeling functions like edge extrude, etc. Also when I have Maya Navigation enabled, I'm unable to deselect faces or verts because of the button setup, has anyone figured a way around this? I saw one fix that involved tweaking keyboard registry entries but would prefer something a little less convoluted. Thanks

EDIT: Forgot to mention, if there's an option or script to make CTRL add AND subtract faces/verts/etc (rather than just add them,) that would be perfect.

I can't offer any help directly, but I do remember this nifty plugin from Digital Raster that transfers lots of popular Maya controls over to Max. I believe there is a trial that you can check out.

It's kind of pricey but you can get a student version for half price and pay the other half later to upgrade to the full license.

Cool, will check it out - Thanks

I've resolved this by making autohotkey script for S based (XSI style) nagivation.
