Public bug reported:
Since, I believe, the Nineties, all graphic editing and viewing software
I have ever seen allows you to navigate horizontally and vertically
through the document by hitting the space bar and moving the mouse, or
by hitting the spacebar, clicking and dragging.
Inkscape lacks this essential feature and obliges you to move through
the document horizontally and vertically separately by using the
scrollbars, which is tremendously annoying. Or perhaps it has another
keyboard shortcut to allow you to easily move around the document using
the mouse, different from the universal convention that has been
omnipresent in every other graphic editing software in the last 20 years
or so.
In either case, it should be fixed.
