Yeah, that would be wonderful, are there any news on this subject?
I also come from c4d and now blender, in both softwares I use this orbit / zoom around mouse cursor feature, it is so much nicer to navigate and work in the 3D Space. It would also be very nice if we could zoom with mouse movement rather then with the mouse wheel in orthograpic views. It is not intuitiv at all at the moment. I wonder how everyone is comfortable for so long with the navigation right now.
Is this feature in devlopment?
