You can hold Alt, and press the middle and left mouse buttons, drag from left to right to zoom in. You can also press 'f' to frame an object in a selected viewport.

If you're using Maya 4.5 or higher, you can also use alt-right mouse button to dolly in and out.

alt + right mousebutton + drag sideways

Check the docs for the basics, it's alot easier than waiting for someone here to answer.

Hi

you might be able to reassign the hotkey in the Hotkey Editor.

Window>Settings/Preferences/Hotkeys...

The tumble controls are set under the Navigation category.

I haven't tried changing it myself though.
