Trackpad and Magic Mouse Support for Mac

On Mac, using the built-in trackpad on laptops or Magic Trackpad accessory, use gestures to navigate around 2D and 3D views, without having to rely on using a mouse. New interactions include:

2-finger drag to Pan in 3D and 2D views

2-finger drag + hold shift to Pan faster in 2D views

2-finger drag + hold shift to Orbit in 3D

2-finger pinch to Zoom in and out in 3D and 2D views

Follows Natural scrolling behavior as set in System Preferences

The Magic Mouse accessory also follows this new Trackpad behavior (using a single finger for Pan, with Option/Alt to Zoom), matching native macOS behavior. New Work Environment option for Magic Mouse and Trackpad, to switch to legacy behavior, preferring Zoom when scrolling.
