Camera Pan and Zoom to Mouse Position

So far I know there are no methods for panning using a trackpad only. It would be great if you could include support for panning that doesn’t need a middle mouse button as I always build without one.

I noticed that whenever you pan and hold the right mouse button, (I do this without thinking when moving the camera) when you let go of it while panning, it stops panning but still has the icon. I don’t know if this is a bug, but other than that, These were very needed features!

Tried this feature out yesterday, very useful for zooming into specific objects in the workspace

It certainly looks like a Christmas-y update, but I’m not so sure I’m going to use this (often). Half my time is spent staring at a giant window of text, not at the 3D View. Either way, I’ll give a try in the off chance that I suddenly see myself needing to spend more time looking at the Workspace over the Script Editor.

:tada:

This seems like a really great needed feature, have not been on studio today to see anything different.

I think this has been an issue for ages, it’s more noticeable with the panning cursor now. Hopefully it gets fixed soon

If you scroll forwards/backwards and middle click to pan you’ll start too zoom out/in while panning.

Good updates, though I was annoyed at first because my camera wasn’t going where I was expecting due to the zoom to mouse thing.

Panning is also a good update, but it really should be uninverted in my opinion.

Today we released a change to make the panning feel more natural. Dragging the camera is now based on the point you grab in 3D space.

Thank you @Subcritical_alt for making this change

I love the camera panning feature and the changes made to it today but I found the zoom to mouse feature very hard to get used to so I disabled it. Thank you for another awesome update!
