Easier switch between orbit and pan

Change the orbit/pan behavior so the shift key (to pan) can be pressed AFTER the MMB has been pressed. Then the user can press and release the shift key as needed (while continuing to hold the MMB) to flip between orbit and pan. This is how my brain is wanting to do after having used SketchUp for a long time.

So just change your keymaps. I don't like Blender default navigation as well and use just MMB to pan, Alt+MMB to orbit and Sgift+Alt+MMB to aligned view. But I don't ask to change this default. Just one more first thing to do with new version - change this default keymap too...
