[MAYA] Viewport Mouse Navigation as in 3DSMAX

OccultMonk

Most 3D apps support customizing the mouse/viewport controls. I believe MAYA does not. I know most people will advise using the default navigation layout of MAYA. But I will be using 3ds max for quite some time and having to mentally change navigation all the time works. I am so used to 3ds max navigation, I really do not want to change 3dsmax to Maya navigation.

Is there no script that can solve this problem? It seems like something quite simple to do...

Is there no solution for this problem? Is there no way to code something that translates the mouse functions?

Would reassigning mouse buttons work on an OS level work to get the same mouse navigation as 3dsmax. Reassigning mouse buttons in for example the Logitech software for this specific application only?

I wish there was a way, but even with 3rd party software it would be difficult to reassign MMB to LMB as it could create confusion.
Autodesk really needs to implement this natively.
But maybe something like https://autohotkey.com can help.

Why? You can set the mouse to only reassign for Maya. Or are there other differences between Maya navigation and 3ds max viewport mouse controls? I do not currently have Maya installed.

Does anyone know if there is another method I can setup mouse interactions like 3ds max?
