Alt + middle mouse button for camera pan probably made sense when there was an actual button, but wow is it ever awkward to press and hold the scroll wheel.

@zeux Guilty as charged. Now the q is what's the 2024 way of panning on PC? Like, what's the first thing that someone would try in a CAD tool they just opened for the first time, on Win and Mac?

@christiankothe I'm really not sure :D I personally remapped Alt + Right Mouse to pan, and use scroll wheel for zooming. It's not ideal because that quantizes the zoom but it's much easier for me. But I recognize that this will go against the muscle memory and as such is not a great solution from the "defaults" perspective.
