Which is really opaque and was to me really annoying. Each time I
wanted to change the manipulator, I had to go inside vizkit3d's code
to find out what keys I needed to type (not mentioning the lack of
feedback).

That's what I proposed, with the addition that I've implemented
switching the camera manipulator from within vizkit3d's configuration
panel and from within ruby scripts.
