Actually, it's not hard at all.

Vanilla = XZ
Left button helf = XY
Right Button held = YZ 
(only two of these are strictly needed, still got buttons left over (counting 
the middle one) for another 2 dimensions) --- only problem is, I want to display stuff in O(10000) dimensions.

THAT is more tricky.
