Toggle Orbit Method (Turntable / Trackball) by ArgelliKa is a lightweight Blender add-on with one job: flipping between Turntable and Trackball orbit modes. Pressing Alt + O toggles between the two, so you don't need to open the Preferences panel each time you want to change how the viewport orbits.
The tool is built for artists who alternate between stable Turntable navigation and free-form Trackball control during modeling, sculpting, or animation. It works in all scenes, requires no dependencies, and adds no clutter to the interface. The default shortcut, Alt + O, is customizable.
Toggle Orbit Method is open-source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. The current release is version 1.0.0, and at roughly 1.3 KB it stays small and focused on a single action.
