The web app has _awesome_ navigation options for trackpad users. Having upgraded to the paid version of SketchUp so I can use the desktop version which will better utilize my computer power, I’m now totally lost trying to navigate the 3D space as the navigation controls are very different and cannot be customized like they can on web.

I see this was discussed in 2021 – however, it’s now 2024… where is this update for desktop?
