Zoom: zoom in/out and pan left/right.
Pan: move the model up, down, left and right relative to a fixed view point.
Another 3 navigation methods are available:
- Walk: zoom in/out and pan left/right. Similar to Fly.

- Jump: zoom in to an object.
Select these methods by double clicking the left mouse button.
The active method is shown by the cursor letter: W, S, E, F or P. Jump uses a target cursor rather than a J.
