Lock view angle
Lock the 3D view angle with a button or hotkey. Useful when you are building a big mesh contour from reference. For example a terrain contour.

After a long evening trying to write an add-on, I found the best solution was in the preferences already. Turns out you can easily change what the middle mouse action is. Panning or rotating. It even flips the alternative action when pressing the alt key. {attachment Pan_or_rotatePNG}
I've been using Blender for some time now and this constantly throws me off.

Still, something like this would be nice. It should do the same as changing the "Middle Mouse Action" setting in the preferences. {attachment 123png}
maybe possible to use camera for this purpose?
