Anyone know if there is a similar solution to working on a trackpad for pcs?

Sorry...maybe this will clarify what i'm looking to do.

I would like to have the option to work in sketchup without a mouse and still have a decent level of productivity. Specifically at times when there it is not convienent or there is not room to whip out a wireless mouse...for example, when i'm riding the bus into work, on a plane, etc. I found out on this post and through other research that Sketchup developed a work around for MAC users that didn't have a center button on their mouses so that they could pan and orbit by holding down ctrl, command, and shift keys instead of pressing down a center mouse button. For mac users, the added benefit is that they can use the same key combinations with their trackpads. What i'm hoping for is a similar solution for PC users.

Any ideas?

I just purchased a new laptop (HP Envy) with a multi-touch trackpad. Is there an equivalent to the mac "command + Ctrl" trick that will work to orbit and pan? I have tried combinations of ctrl + alt + shift but nothing is working so far.
