just had a thought, i don't know if it would be any easier to use the right mouse button for zoom on the 3d plots.  since it is already used that way for 2d plots, that might make some sense.  that way the middle mouse button just wouldn't be used for anything and there would be some consistency. since a lot of people don't have a middle mouse button, this could be better than introducing keyboard commands.  however, i do like keyboard commands too, lol.  anyway, just a thought.

thanks
