Feature request: hold down the space bar to get a drag cursor that moves the whole workspace around. (And ideally also hold spacebar + cmd to get a zoom in cursor, spacebar + option for a zoom our cursor.) These controls are used by every Adobe app (and have been widely adopted by other drawing/graphics software) and they’re amazingly useful, because they make it lightning fast to alternate between moving around the canvas and doing whatever else.


We've currently got Ctrl+Drag (or Cmd+Drag on OS X) for panning around the workspace, and the mouse wheel up/down is mapped to zooming in/out. (Probably need to better document these somewhere!) Compatibility with other keyboard/mouse conventions is something I will pass on to the UI team.

Agree about "amazingly useful ... lightning fast" to switch between modes -- we just added a keyboard shortcut for re-running the last simulation, just so we could eliminate the burden of explicit mode switching between schematic capture and simulation.
