# Feature to OpenROAD that lets us drag views with the mouse?
Tool: Graphical User Interface
Subcategory: User interface enhancement
## Conversation

It would make moving around the design a lot easier.
Is there a way to do this already?
The arrow keys is a bit clunky compared to dragging the view with the mouse.
### stefanottili
OpenRoad will hopefully take hint's from KLayout's layout view controls instead of inventing yet another scheme.
zoom in/out at the cursor position (mouse wheel zoom in/out)
make the cursor key "shift width" adjustable (40% seem like a better value then the defaults)
have "gestures" for fit, zoom in, zoom out (move mouse right-up, down, left-up), so no "mouse drag viewpoint".
There doesn't seem to be a consensus for zoom in/out, fit, level down/up keys.
I override the klayout defaults and use z/Z, f, l/L, curious what other people use.
### stefanottili
I stand corrected, there is dragging the view in Klayout, on a Mac is "right mouse + shift"
### maliberty
There is no method currently. It could be an enhancement request as could gestures.
