How "dolly" into a 3D graphic in Mathematica 13.1?

In his announcement of Mathematica 13.1 (https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2022/06/launching-version-13-1-of-wolfram-language-mathematica/), Stephen Wolfram discusses a new feature: the ability to "dolly" into a 3D graphic (which is different from zooming in).

How does one do this? Is it some key combination and if so, what - for Mac and for Windows?

The example he uses is:

 Graphics3D[Table[Style[Ball[RandomReal[1, 3], RandomReal[{0, 0.1}]], RandomColor[]], 40]]

He includes a video showing "dollying in" but doesn't say how to do it.

It probably should be added here but it's not:

I couldn't find "dolly" either.

On Windows, it's CTRL+Shift+drag rather than CTRL+Drag for zoom. So I guess on Mac it will be CMD+Shift+drag

Yes, CMD+Shift+drag on Mac. Thanks.

Is this documented anywhere? (I didn't find it.)

Hi Murray,

Check out Stephen's video on 13.1 at around the 1:01:29 mark. On a Mac it is Command + click drag.

The entire video takes only about 15 seconds.

How does the key sequence for Dolly differ from that for Zoom? It looks to me like to Zoom on Mac, one uses Cmd+drag (the docs - workflow/RotatePanAndZoom3DGraphics -- say Option+drag, but that merely rotates on Mac).
