Sure, just don't mess with snapping :) There are people who have
already paid for the current set of behavior.
An option to pan as you get near the edge seems like a nice compromise.
My favorite will still be space bar to suspend drawing.

broad audience websites who request the suggested behaviour. There is
some funding for a draw/pan function without modifiers.
Best regards,
Emmanuel Belo
