If you want to pan around a large diagram by holding the middle mouse button the direction of the scroll is the opposite way around to practically every other desktop application that has this feature.
With most UI designs the middle button is used to 'grab' the page so for example moving the mouse down and to the right will scroll the screen up and to the right. You are effectively keeping your view at a fixed point while moving the page around with the mouse. In Lucidchart the page stays where it is and your view moves around the diagram with the mouse. This feels disorientating and unnatural.
Is there any way to change this behaviour? I would much prefer it to be the other way around.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your post! We really appreciate your detailed feedback. Unfortunately, this isn’t currently supported in Lucid, but we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience within this thread. I’ve also converted this post to an idea so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own.
Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:
Hi! Writing to update this thread with good news! Clicking and dragging to pan and scrolling up and down should do as you described - move the page around while your view remains fixed. I also wanted to let you know that changing your navigation mode is now a setting that’s available. To access it, navigate to View > Navigation mode and choose your preferred method from the menu.
For a description of how each operates, select More info… or see below:

I hope this helps!

Yeah. Disappointing that we cannot pan with the middle mouse button. This is pretty much industry standard on so many other platforms and software that is a huge negative in making the transition to LucidSpark. That’s unfortunate because it’s such an easy setting to add.
Hi @edanastas, thank you for leaving feedback on this thread. I certainly understand why this is important to you and I appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you’d like to see.
