Some keys (space, ctrl, shift etc.) cannot be changed…

That’s determined by the operating system. Also shortcuts that are hard-coded in the operating system cannot be changed.

Why do you want to change the keyboard shortcut for Pan? If you use a standard 3-button mouse as SketchUp was designed to work with, you won’t need any keyboard shortcut for Pan, Orbit, or Zoom. I reassigned all three of those default keyboard shortcuts long ago and omitted the toolbar buttons years ago.

Your variant is perfect.

Actually, my current mouse has 4 buttons with these functions: Select(left), Orbit(wheel), Zoom (wheel) and menu of right button of mouse, and one button near to wheel with orbit function too. If i try change it then sketchup crashes again.

or i can’t catch specific of working with mouse 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️
