Paraview: rotate around a given axis

The default 3D rotation mode is a kind of rollerball mode. Is it possible to interactively rotate about a given axis (say x, y or z axis), instead? I see you can do it by typing numbers into the view details dialog, but that is painful.

Yes. By holding Shift, you will rotate around the back-front axis. I suggest you use the view toolbar to put the correct axis to the back.

You can change the default behavior of different mouse+keyboard combinations in Edit->Settings->Camera.

The name of the desired behavior is "roll".

While rotating, simply press the X, Y or Z key to limit the rotation to the corresponding axis (ParaView Blog. August 1, 2015).
