Hi all, attached a patch to add a new feature “touchpad panning”. When enabled, you can pan in x/y-direction by just using usual 2-finger touchpad gestures without shift/ctrl modifiers instead of scroll wheel zoom.
It is particularly useful on OS X, because any Apple touchpad/mouse supports these 2-finger gestures (1-finger with MagicMouse). It makes KiCad behave more like any other regular OS X application and has been requested for some time by some/many OS X users. It is built on top of platform independent wxWidgets functions, so it should work also on any other platform and device supporting x/y mousewheel events and is not restricted to OS X. I added preference options to each application like the other pan/zoom options (and a menu entry for 3d-Viewer). If disabled, panning/scrolling should work the same as without the patch. I tested it on * OS X with touchpad, MagicMouse, MightMouse * OS X with normal PC mouse * Linux running inside a VirtualBox on OS X (debian testing with xfce desktop) I would be great if someone could test it on native Windows/Linux with a touchpad. It should be OK, the only problem that I could imagine is that panning speed might have to be adapted (frequency/granularity of mousewheel events could be different between OS X and other platforms, there are already some platform specific adaptions in the code before the patch). Of course, any other feedback is also welcome! Note: This patch contains the patch discussed in the other mail thread, which disables framerate throttling in GAL on OS X. Regards, Bernhard
