Hi, big fan of the tool and new user. I have a nice time panning around larger spaces on laptop via trackpad and on mobile, but with a mouse and keyboard it seems like being able to Spacebar + drag to pan around, much like Adobe XD and other design tools, would be really useful. Is that kind of feature available? Thanks! ---

Welcome to Kinopio jfindlay šŸ™‚ Natively, because Kinopio is built to scroll like a regular website it doesnā€™t have spacebar panning ā€“ but it looks like you can add it yourself with a browser extension: > **[ScrollAnywhere - Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/scrollanywhere/jehmdpemhgfgjblpkilmeoafmkhbckhi)** > > Drag scrollbar with your middle mouse button anywhere on the page. Supports also "grab and drag" style.

If other people also need this then let me know here and I can investigate how to add this built-in ---

In my testing that felt the closest to what figma does. Youā€™ll may also notice the cursor flickering on safari and ff, thatā€™s a result of a lower system/app things (also happens on figma in these browsers). On chrome/vivaldi/edge youā€™ll see no cursor flicker. ---

Bump - apologies. Something has changed here. Previously, middle-clicking in empty space brought up the windows ā€œscroll anywhereā€ tool (real name not known to me) but now it does a panning hand. The difference is that the scroll tool allows a gradual pan with no mouse movement (leave the mouse to one side of equilibrium and the system will continually scroll in that direction) Now it requires multiple click-drag movements to scroll. Less ergonomic for me. Edit: Since space bar and right click already do the hand thing, is there any harm putting middle-click back how it was? Worth askingā€¦šŸ™‚ ---
