Blender Addon: Toggle Emulate MMB & Numpad
This addon makes it simple and easy to set up Blender for e.g. a lightweight portable setup. Perfect with a laptop 2-in-1 and stylus pen, where Numpad and a Mouse with or without Middle Mouse Button are lacking entirely.
-
;toggles the number keys to become Numpad Keys for viewport orientation and view snapping -
'or"toggles Middle Mouse Button emulation, so the stylus can be used with Alt (or one of its buttons mapped to Alt) for orbiting and 3D viewport navigation -
Highly recommend downloading a stylus programming application like 'HP Pen Control' to give easy, though minimal control over programming of stylus buttons. Mapping one to right-click and another to 'Alt' frees up the left hand for hotkeys, while the stylus can be used for drawing and navigation
-
Especially useful for stylus operation with QuickTools (QuickShape, QuickDeform, QuickCurve) on a lightweight setup
-
Saves figuring out how to add the hidden toggle operators to the keymap, or going into preferences to toggle them
-
Far easier than setting up AutoHotkey for stylus buttons. The keymap seems fairly unused in Blender at present

Thanks to @ericwomer for adding visual indicator of toggle statuses so you can free your mind for imagination
