It would be very nice if it was possible to pan infinitely. Right now the panning stops when the mouse cursor hits the application border, then you have to release the middle mouse button, drag the mouse back, press the middle mouse button again and pan again until you reach the part of the schematic or board layout where you want to go. Or you have to zoom out, try to precisely hover over the position you want to go to and then zoom in again. (and correct the position by doing this again in smaller steps)
If it was possible to pan the schematic or board layout and not the mouse cursor, without the border limit, by holding down a assignable hotkey, then navigation would be much easier especially when using a trackball.
It could work the same as by holding down the control or shift key and scrolling the scroll wheel, but replace the scroll wheel by mouse movement. (no separate key for up and down of course) |

(Changed bug description to make it easier to understand)
In short how the function could work:
1) Hold down a hotkey
2) Move your mouse to pan the schematic or board layout
Additional:
*) Hotkey should be assignable
*) The mouse cursor remains stationary on your screen when you pan
*) Be able to use the Scroll wheel to zoom when you pan
*) The panning has no screen edge boundaries
This Reduces unnecessary mouse movements, and makes navigation and dragging components more pleasant and efficient. Mouse cursor can remain at the center of your screen, this is where you want it to be. (not forced to center of course)
