Good.

Yes, that’s how it supposed to be.

Wheel normally has axis=vertical, so it scrolls vertical.
With a touchpad and 2-finger scroll you just want it to scroll without having
to press any modifier key. That’s why it doesn’t zoom but scroll without
modifier.

Yes, that’s how it is currently implemented.

If you really want zoom again on wheel/touchpad, I could add to zoom with
ctrl modifier. Shouldn’t be a big deal.
I wouldn’t want to use shift, because you need shift-wheel to simulate 
horizontal scroll with a usual mouse in touchpad mode - if it wouldn’t be like 
that you would have to switch modes whenever you change devices.
Ah, wait… the shift-wheel probably only works on OS X because of the
previously discussed automatic change of axis (which obviously doesn’t
happen on Windows/Linux).

On OS X you don’t need modifier-touch/wheel for zooming, because you 
zoom with pinch-to-zoom gesture (which is unfortunately not yet supported 
by wxWidgets on Windows/Linux).

That’s good, then touchpad-panning is working as it is supposed to be.

3D viewer doesn’t have a preference dialog, so I added this as first item
in the Preferences menu…
