| 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. | |

| 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. | |
