Port Black Dragon's right-click-and-drag camera orbit. Right-click and drag orbits the camera around the point under the cursor, with no Alt+click focus step first.

Pick the surface point under the cursor when the drag starts. That point becomes the orbit center, the same as an Alt-focus.
Hold still and release = the normal context / pie menu still opens. A drag beyond a small threshold turns into an orbit instead.
Add a preference toggle to turn it off for people who expect a plain right-click.
Check how it interacts with mouselook, build mode, the third-person shooter camera and the other camera-pack modes (#110 epic context).
