I just drag with the middle mouse button, or the stylus button, to pan, myself. (or I use the navigation view (icon in the bottom right corner of the image view) If I mainly edited, rather than having a fairly even balance of edit vs create, I would probably set the Zoom tool as the default (or possibly the Measure tool). I might even make the cursor keys scroll the display rather than adjusting opacity etc. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
