pan view using SPACE


Posted on Jun 10, 2010 by Quick Wombat

right now, when the canvas is zoomed, the only way to pan inside it is to use the scroll bars, orizontal and vertical. this is not really comfortable.. instead it could be possible to pan the canvas view by pressing the SPACE bar (like in GIMP) or SPACE and left-click (like in Photoshop if I'm not wrong...). thanks.

I agree. This would be much more comfortable way of panning around than using scrollbars.

I didn't see this thread before I posted my own request for the feature.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Holding down SPACE activate free canvas scrolling when dragging w/ mouse 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Version 1.2 on Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

I propose introducing a flexible scrolling mode across canvas, like seen in most Adobe products (and in wireframing tools like Balsamiq Mockups, Cacoo, etc.).

In Cacoo, you can hold down the SPACE bar on the keyboard, enabling the user to drag (scrolling) the canvas by dragging w/ mouse. This is a very convenient way of quickly navigating a large canvas, instead of having to drag the scrollbars.
