Accidental activation of navigation mode #67

Description

@etma101

When trying to open right click (context) menu. Sometimes the view orientation and position changes

Its not a big problem but occurs sometimes (espacially when moving mouse a lot if working fast). It would be better if users can't accidentally activate navigation mode.

When this can be annoying?
Users sometimes carefully adjust the view angle and position for spesific purpose such as:

-modeling small parts in complex models,
-aligning view to a mesh for controlling transform,
-orthographic views for scaled models (architecture, engineering etc.),
-framing camera for a scene.

What i tried?
-For orthographic mode: There is a setting for automatically returning to orthographic mode after operation. It preserves the orientation but it changes the position.
-For camera mode: There is a setting to disable behaviour in camera mode but now it also disables the context menu.
-I also tried to change the shortcut for the addon, but now context menu doesn't work again. I assume the shortcut key is linked together.

Possible Solution?

There are 2 changes to the addon that i think might work:

1- Add delay setting for Navigation mode: Enable navigation mode only if you hold mouse button down more than a specified duration. (for example 1 second) otherwise open the context menu. (currenly there is a delay setting but it enables navigation mode immediately regardles of the time threshold.)

or

2- Unlink the shortcut key between the addon and context menu: Seperate shortcut setting for the addon and the context menu in the Keymap Preferences. Users can assign different keys for addon and the context menu.


Thanks for the addon, it helped me a lot:)
