This is the normal mechanism used to deal with things like this - hold down
a modifier key to constrain the movement.

It is tiresome when you want to zoom without rotating or rotate without
zooming. Allowing both by default but using shift and control to suporess
one or the other sounds good to me. (I haven't tried the new code). The main
problem with this is 'discovery' (i.e. it's not at all obvious to the new
user, but then most survex users are likely to be using it quite a lot so
that may not matter, so long as it's mentioned somewhere)
