Has anyone got any good links to information or examples on how to let a user navigate through a 3d space using mouse and keyboard ?
I'm guessing that you mean for a desktop environment? and not Quake III ;) (of course if you do mean Quake III then the Quake III engine is now released under the gpl and available from ftp.idsoftware.com)
Examples of openGL code would be even better :-)
A big grand-daddy of 3d filesystem navigation was the SGI 3d file manager as seen in Jurassic Park "It's a UNIX system! I know this!" which has been reimplemented here http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ I suppose the other thing to look at would be the Sun Looking Glass project, which is GPL but requires Java or something (so isn't really GPL? I forget what the controversy was) which you can find here https://lg3d.dev.java.net/
