Previous and Next used to be ctrl-[ and ctrl-] ... but in 9, you can map those commands to whatever keystrokes (nearly) you want.

You need - try +/- keys in the numeric part of the keyboard...

But, this does not do the same thing as the wheel, at least on Windows.When you scroll with the wheel on windows, the point in the plan that is under the mouse stays fixed, and all zooms around it.
When I zoom with the numeric + key, the zoom center is the exact center of the plan window, and doesn't pay attention to the mouse location...so you may end up having to pan afterwards (or pan, zoom, pan, zoom). With the wheel, you just spin, and you're still exactly where you want to be working. Very fast.

And regarding previous and next views on the keyboard...apparently they do exist by default (but I don't know if you can redefine them). I could only find them in the Work Environment clicking Keyboard Shortcuts and then Show Shortcut List In Browser at the bottom of the dialog box (Command+[ or ]).

See the screenshot attached. Select "All commands by theme" to get everything, regardless of if it is in the current menu scheme, and expand Display and you'll find the previous/next zoom commands.

Thanks!After using these keys today I now remember using them in the past. I must be getting old.
Works pretty well when I position my hand with thumb over the arrows and fingers over the -/+ keys.
However, is there a good Mac Wheel Mouse one should consider? The ones I've seen felt awkward and looked ugly. The Mac mouse feels and looks nice but of course no wheel option there.
Still looking?
