System Information
Operating system: Windows 10

Blender Version
blender-4.0.0-beta+v40.7f89063161cf-windows.amd64-release

Short description of error

I have changed some keyboard shortcuts, because I am a user of the 'Alt middle mouse' shortcut for Rotate View.

For the upcoming version 4.0 there is a new function to Navigate during Transform.

I changed the shortcut to 'shift middle mouse' for Rotate View, to avoid conflict key map and be able to use the new feature.

Except that I noticed even after changing the shortcut (Alt), the option is deactivated everywhere.

Doing it manually one by one is a bit boring

Is it possible to have an option to change the shortcut for the new feature
Or that it remains active, but does not take priority

Hi, thanks for the report. I don't think it's possible to change the modifier key (alt) for "navigate during transform". AFAICS It is hardcoded in 017d4912b2. I guess you'll need to tweak keymap of viewport navigation operations

So no way to wait for a fix?
It is better to activate the functionality one by one in the key maps?

Originally the "Transform Navigation with Alt" option shouldn't even exist.

It was implemented (and turned On by default) so as not to need to change other shortcuts, such as the Scroll to change the Proportional Influence.

If you are going to edit the keymaps, I would recommend disabling the "Transform Navigation with Alt" option.

Either way, adding a customizable button seems like a good idea. But it's too late for 4.0.

I'll see implementing this for 4.1.

I changed my shortcuts to best fit the new functionality, and enabled them one by one in the key maps options.

I think it will take me a little while to adapt to the new shortcuts, but I'll do it.

For version 4.0 yes, it's a little late, but for 4.1 it would be nice to include a changeable shortcut

thank you for your reply
