I don't think you're missing anything obvious. The LDAO editors look at two
sections in ldraw.ini for which views to include in that dropdown, [Views] and
[View Moves]. A view has to be defined in both sections. [Views] gives the
viewing angle information. [View Moves] provides information for mapping the
part-movement keys to the axis/direction to move the part.
I guess that's kind of pointless for the Editor, since there are no
arrow-keystrokes for moving parts around. Drat.
The default [View Moves] is:
[View Moves]
Back=Y-,Y+,X+,X-,Z-,Z+
Left=Y-,Y+,Z-,Z+,X-,X+
Right=Y-,Y+,Z+,Z-,X+,X-
Above=X-,X+,Z-,Z+,Y+,Y-
Beneath=X+,X-,Z-,Z+,Y-,Y+
Oblique=Z+,Z-,X-,X+,Y-,Y+
Front=Y-,Y+,X-,X+,Z+,Z-
Natural=Z+,Z-,X-,X+,Y-,Y+
UpsideDown=Z+,Z-,X+,X-,Y+,Y-
And the entries map to UpArrow, DownArrow, LeftArrow, RightArrow, Home, and End,
in that order, I think.
So, to show a view in the Editor, add a line to [View Moves].
