Defold Editor and the Trackpad (SOLVED)

Is there no way to move around the game world in the editor using a laptop trackpad? I travel often and sometimes don’t have access to a mouse. Forced to zoom super far out and in to see everything, especially when working on a tilemap.

It’s middle mouse click and hold to pan around so assuming that is supported on the trackpad it should work the same? The viewport does need a lot of improvements for sure. :slight_smile:

Hmm I could try overriding the default behavior for my trackpad in Windows then. It doesn’t support middle click by default. Would be nice to have an alternative way of doing this, such as holding alt and moving the mouse or something.

I use Defold on a MacBook and option+drag works to pan for me. If you’re on Windows maybe try alt+drag? Without this shortcut it’d be really hard to use the editor on the MacBook for sure!

On windows ALT+LMB and drag pans the view and ALT+RMB and drag zooms the view. I love this because I use a trackball without a middle button or wheel.
