Would be awesome if you could figure that one out.
It should actually be doable without too much work. What are the votes
on "zoom-to-center" and "zoom-to-mouse"?
I vote for zoom to mouse.
MMB already performs moving - but I only realized after posting the
patch
LMB selects a region
RMB over an unselected region puts up a menu
RMB over a selected region allows moving the region
I'd actually leave the mouse buttons as they are to leave RMB for menus,
and just change the mousewheel default behavior to zoom. Scrolling by
wheel could be removed, or made secondary behavior of the mousewheel
when modifier keys are held down.
Sounds good.
Okay, then I'll implement it this way. However, which modifier keys for
moving?
What about a "Tool" option somewhere so I can choose what to do with the
left button (pan, select or move selection)? Most viewers have this.
And some more keyboard navigation issues:
I'd like to have <PageDown> and <PageUp> for Next/Previous image; many
viewers on Windows work that way, and I've gotten very used to it. This
allows one-handed navigation, which isn't doable with the current
<Alt>+<Down>/<Up>.
The code change is trivial, already implemented in my version.
Also <left> or <up> for previous image, and <down> or <right> for next
image. It sounds natural to most people, especially if there is a
thumbnails list on one side.
And the thumbnails list should be hideable, scrollable, etc :-)

Gabriele
