[Feature Request]: Enable simple mouse scrolling!

[dmainou]

What would you like to happen?

Guys the blue box on the bottom right is a pain for several reasons:

1. When working on a small laptop the box uses significant real estate. I need to constantly move transforms out of the way of the blue box. Unfortunately, clients not always supply a large monitor.
2. When transforms are directly behind the blue box it is hard to interact with the blue box and instead my clicks, drags, etc are passed on to the underlying transform.
3. If I forget to use the two finger drag to scroll it results in a zoom. Apart from annoying this looks really bad when presenting to clients. Not only I look bad, HOP looks like a poorly built solution.
4. When I'm on a large screen I need to constantly move my mouse to the corner to navigate instead of simply scrolling.

the viewport can be disabled from the configuration perspective

Hi Bart, Thank you for the quick response.
Yes I can disable the viewport, however that just partially fixes the issue as I am still unable to scroll up or down.

On the Mac, yes I know, two finger scrolling results on zooming.
I can't seem to be able to click on the canvas and drag it around. I also don't have scroll bars on the sides to move up or down.
So for the moment I'm stuck with the viewport.

I've tried this with and without double clicking activated.

ps. Double finger scrolling works just fine when I'm on the step selection menu.
I guess that, on the main canvas scrolling needs to be mapped to the double finger drag and the zoom needs mapping to the pinching action.

Moving around is mapped to clicking the middle mouse button and then dragging.
Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the trackpad. There is no gesture mapped for "clicking" the middle mouse button.

Scroll would only work for up and down, this is why it works in the context menu, it has a scrollbar and it only has one way scrolling.

Other ways to move around on the canvas are the arrow keys or using command + left click drag.
