ScriptNode - Middle Click drag should always pan {CLOSED}

[aaronventure]

Right now, whether you left, right or middle click a container space, the insert menu will pop up.

I think Middle Click can be safely relegated to always pan around the blueprint. It already pans when clicking on the empty canvas area (as do all other mouse buttons), but I think it would be a nice QoL feature for the Middle Click to always pan (coming here from Unreal's Blueprint editor). Predictive/expected behavior and all that.

Yes this would be nice, I keep having to use the mousewheel to move around once I'm zoomed in.

I remember trying to do this once but this is surprisingly annoying to implement because the JUCE mouse event handling system can't consume a mouse event of a child component, so I would have to add that logic to every single UI element that might end up in a zoomable viewport.

Also on macOS dragging the mouse does something weird (at least here it opens some kind of desktop overview mode).

Came back to this on a fresh morning and thought "whatever, let's do it" :)

@Christoph-Hart I like that attitude!

Hey, it's not a shiny new feature but this significantly improves the experience in ScriptNode. Thanks!
