I am new to Lucid, I want to know if we can able to navigate Lucid canvas without scroll bars but by grabbing is (usually in other application a mini hand that let you do it) can be done? Hope my question makes sense

Hi ​@Qasim.Jabbar,

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community!

You can definitely grab and move the canvas just like the mini hand tool in other applications. Here are the two best ways to do it:

  1. If you hold down the Spacebar on your keyboard, your cursor will turn into a hand icon. While holding the spacebar, just click and drag your mouse to move the canvas in any direction.

  2. You can also simply right-click and hold anywhere on the blank canvas to grab it and pull the view around. You don't even need to hit a key for this one!

If you are using a trackpad, you can also use a two-finger swipe to pan around freely.

For more details and a few extra navigation tricks, you might find these community posts helpful:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I am happy to help!
