Hey there,

Can i reverse the direction of the panning that happens when i press the middle mousebutton? i want it to move in the direction like when i double click mousewheel, like dragging the document instead of moving in the direction the cursor points. 


I've read related topics but these are +8 months old. Is this option availble yet?

Thankyou!

(ps. please highlight required fields, i was trying to skip the category since i have no idea what category this falls in to)

Hi ​@mauro 

Thanks for reaching out! Currently, there is no option to reverse the panning direction when using the middle mouse button. The default behavior follows standard panning conventions, where the canvas moves in the opposite direction of your cursor movement when holding the middle mouse button.

However, I understand the preference for a drag-style movement (similar to double-clicking the mouse wheel), and I appreciate your feedback on this. While this option is not available yet, I recommend submitting a feature request via the Lucid Product Feedback portal—the team regularly reviews user suggestions for future updates.
