Spacebar = switch to pan
« on: October 14, 2009, 03:39:17 PM »
The Adobe suite of graphics software (photoshop, illustrator, etc) have most of the basic drawing tools function so that when using them, if you hold the spacebar down, the tool temporarily becomes the pan tool.

That allows you to work zoomed in a lot, and just pan around very easily without a tool change.
Would be a very useful modification to TF.

Thanks!

TF has this feature, except it is tied to the CTRL key.  Holding it down temporarily switches to pan mode, and you are right that it's very useful.

I didn't know space does it in Adobe products.  Maybe we could make it both space and CTRL.

DAMN! You learn something new every day.
I wasn't aware of this very useful feature in either TF or PS.
Thanks for the tip!
