Thanks for the quick response. Google MyMaps allows a drag pan from anywhere while digitizing. I was mistaken, you don't have to be near the map edge. They also have a right click 'Center Map Here' function.
It might make the coding simpler to allow a drag pan. I notice also that OpenLayers already supports zoom in/out while digitizing but it's pretty unwieldy without a pan.
