Ctrl+left drag on empty space orbits in every navigation preset (#471)

A left press with Ctrl (or Cmd) held, no Shift or Alt, on empty space orbits
for that press, unless the preset binds Ctrl+left itself. It only orbits
once the pointer moves: a Ctrl+click still adds to the selection, and
Ctrl+drag on sketch geometry still drags it without snapping. Works with a
tool active, without adding geometry. Ctrl+box selection from empty space
becomes the orbit; Shift+box selection still adds.

Preferences › Navigation and the UI tour mention it. Test drives every
preset through real pointer events.

Shift+middle orbits freely
in the default and Inventor presets. Shift+right-drag snaps to the nearest standard or
in the default and Inventor presets. In every preset, Ctrl+left drag (Cmd on macOS) that starts
on empty space orbits; a Ctrl+click still adds to the selection. Shift+right-drag snaps to the nearest standard or
diagonal view; Shift does not request snapping when the preset already requires it to orbit.

axis tip to look along that axis; click the aligned tip again to look from the opposite side.
