Orbit

The orbit control rotates the Viewport camera around a given point. To set the point, double-click. Concentric circles will appear and your orbit is locked on that location.

To look, hold the right mouse button, and move the mouse:

Fly

The fly control moves the Viewport camera linearly, relative to the current view alignment while holding the right mouse button.

To fly, first hold the right mouse button to look. While looking, press the W, A, S, D, Q, and E keys to fly relative to where you’re looking:

If you prefer, you can use the arrow keys plus Page Up and Page Down, instead:
