The following keystrokes control navigation in the 3D viewer. For more information about navigating in the 3D viewer, see Using the Navigation Controls.
Note - The focus must be in the 3D viewer in order for these controls to take effect. Simply click anywhere in the 3D viewer to change focus.

Tip - Use the ALT key in combination with most of these keystrokes to move more slowly in the indicated direction.

Java Robot class simulating human mouse movement

Take a look in this example that I wrote. You can improve this to simulate what Joey said. I wrote it very fast and there are lots of things that can be improved (algorithm and class design). Note that I only deal with left to right movements.
