The following is applicable for all styles.
F4 snaps to the nearest orthogonal or iso view. For all styles, the mouse wheel zooms. For all except 'vtk', LMB and MMB can be used interchangeably.
F1+MW rotates the view about the model X axis in 5 degree increments. F2+MW rotates about the Y axis, and F3+MW rotates about the Z axis. You can also use Ctrl, Shift, and Ctrl+Shift or Alt instead of the F1, F2, and F3 keys for this functionality.
