Feature: Visual navigation map #80

Description

@quarterstar

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Finding the bounds of a drawing is difficult. For example, you can move arbitrarily away from the main space of your drawing and find difficulty in locating that space again unless you re-open the drawing file.

Describe the solution you'd like
A map-esque visual cue that appears on one of the corners and shows your drawing—which shall be scaled based on the bounds of the drawn space (the bounds are calculated based on the vertices furthest out on each axis). Clicking on it makes the map fullscreen; pressing Escape exits the map view.

The map features a specially-colored cursor that indicates where you currently are in the drawing space. If you are outside the drawing space, the cursor fixes to the bound of the map and changes variably depending on your distance.

Any similar feature that helps you deduce and navigate the bounds would also work.

Describe existing solutions that have this feature
I got the idea from minimap mods in games like Minecraft.
