Right Mouse Navigation
Right Mouse Navigation
What is it?
Game Engine-style navigation for Blender's 3D Viewport (and optionally Node Editors).
How Does it Work?
Hold Right Mouse to enable 'Walk Navigation' and use the W, A, S, D, Q and E keys to navigate your scene.
Click Right Mouse to access the standard context menus.
Preferences
A Time Threshold is available in the addon preferences, to adjust between a 'hold' and a 'click'.
Node Editors
The optional Node Editor mode binds panning to Right Mouse 'hold' and the Node Search/Context menus to 'click'. If a node is selected the standard Node Context menu will be called, if no nodes are selected, the Node Search menu will be called.
NOTE:
This addon supports both Left and Right Click Select, however, there is a known issue where the addon keymap is not updated after switching between Left and Right Click Select. The fix is to restart Blender, which should resolve all issues with the addon.

New Features
Thanks to roguesleipnir on Github there are now options for "Unity-style" Middle Mouse and Alt key options!
Check them out in Preferences.
Wonderful tool with a minor feature request. This is a fantastic add-on that significantly improves the workflow. However, I would like to suggest a small quality-of-life improvement: adding a customizable delay to the right-click action.
Currently, when working in a strict orthographic view (such as front or side view), a quick right-click instantly toggles the camera between perspective and orthographic projection. Introducing a brief, adjustable delay would prevent these accidental camera jumps and make navigation much smoother. Thanks for the great work!

Small but essential addon.
