Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing pan interaction on a MacBook trackpad in the CQ-editor GUI and inspect how panning is currently triggered without a middle-click. Done means a documented or implemented trackpad gesture reliably pans the model without breaking existing controls.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Without a middle-click, I've been unable to pan. Am I missing something obvious, or is it actually not available?
