Epaenetus Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Is there a way to use the middle mouse button to pan? I know that I can use the H hotkey to get the hand tool, but I would like to just be able to temporarily toggle the hand tool without losing the current tool that I am working on. Let me know if you need further clarification. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 If it’s a Windows PC you can press the middle button down and pan. Not sure about a Mac The spacebar temporarily selects the Hand Tool so you can drag to pan. Release the spacebar and the previous tool is selected. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epaenetus Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thank you for the tip regarding spacebar. I have tried using middle mouse button, but it doesn't seem to be working. I am still evaluating affinity designer so I am using a trial version. Could that be the issue? I am using version 1.6.5.135. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a mouse with a middle mouse wheel try to press that left/right if the mouse supports it.

cimerio Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 and using the keyboard? someway? (panning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keurulan Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I have mouse and touchpad in use at the same time (PC). I have verified that three-finger-click activates properly middle mouse, -for example in my chrome browser- and produces the exact same results as mouse does. With mouse, holding the middle buttonallows correctly to pan picture. HOWEVER, three-finger-click and hold does not activate pan with the touchpad. Should this work or should I create a ticket/feature request? P.S: thanks for the space trick, didnt know that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 hi, weird issue here: with the MX Master 3 the middle click works perfectly for panning (like with space bar). Though with the MX Anywhere 3 (middle button set up the same way) it doesn't work. Any clue here what could be going on? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
