Middle mouse to move UI

[d.healey]

Wasn't it previously possible to use the middle mouse button to move the UI around with the cursor over a UI element? Or did I dream it?

@d-healey It was possible to use the mouse wheel over a table to alter the curve curvature. That is no longer the case. Now you need to use the right mouse button and drag, which is kind of a drag. I'd like to see this functionality brought back.

@gorangrooves Indeed and if you do not drag completely vertical you will affect the curvature of the adjacent points , which I always do , middle mouse would be nice.

+1 for the return of the middle mouse

@Lindon I'd prefer nodes in the middle of each path so you can left click and drag to get the desired curve. Pretty standard these days. Right-click / mouse-wheel isn't accurate enough I don't think unless you're a mouse wizz (and apple magic mice make this impossible).

yeah that works too.. but convincing me isnt your problem...

@Lindon indeed, @Christoph-Hart would this be a real pita? I do rather feel like the tables lag behind other products.

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH No, but it isn't a trivial task and the next weeks are rather busy here...

I'll add a preprocessor that brings back the old mouse wheel scroll functionality though.

I think my thread got hijacked while I was asleep :p
So what about the middle mouse click moving the UI around, was that just my imagination?

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey it‘s working but not if you hover over a component (so only on the background). Not sure if it ever worked on a control though…

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart I'll build some older commits and check, I'm sure it used to work but I could be wrong.

[d.healey]

I just did a test in the latest version and it does actually work, if the mouse is over a panel, which I think is the behavior I'm remembering. For some reason it doesn't work in a particular project of mine, but that's my problem.

[Christoph Hart]

@d-healey probably if you have assigned a mouse callback to the panel because then it will override the default behaviour?

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart I thought that too but nope.
