Scrolling through zoomed-in plots

Hi,

Quite recently the convenient ctrl-1,2,3,4 and 5 key-shortcuts were added to dplot for zooming into the graph.
I noticed that -when examining a zoomed-in graph - I often want to slightly move the showed plot area to any direction outside the visible area/ screen.

The only option now seems zooming-out and place the cursor on the new location of interest for zooming-in again.

It would be handy if we could scroll/ drag the viewed graph-part, just like we often can do that with a zoomed-in image in an image editor or a text in a text-editor.

Cheers,
Roberto

Did you try using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Big jumps using just the arrows, and smaller jumps using ctrl-arrow.

Seems to work with the ctrl-1,2,3,4 etc. zooms, just like it has with the zoom tool (magnifier) for many months.

Is this what you meant?

Ouch!
Yep, it'll do

Actually I think I knew about the arrow keys before and probably forgot about it

Thanks!
