The following navigation functions are available:
Ball Mode: switches the Trackball between position and pointer modes.
Ortho Toggle: switches the Trackball between Ortho and Normal. When in position
mode, with ortho on, the Trackball will only control pan or tilt, not both at the same time.

Left Click: the same as left-click with the mouse.
Open: mimics the open button on the front panel

Toggle Kind Keys/Cmd keys: toggles the function keys between kind mode and
command key mode.
