Did you know about "Pan is Scroll"?

I dont know why i'm not hear about "Pan is scroll" before.
So, i have two touchscreen devices, Toshiba R15(XP) and Samsung Q1 Ultra(Vista).
Working much with Mindmeister i found the dragging is a cool

Vista have a touch flicks or gestures for some action like scroll down, scroll up (copy, cut, delete and paste it customizible) and using Q1 for reading i use them a lot.

So, now we all can use dragging of page (like for PDF view) in Opera! Its great!

Upd: Go to "Appearance > Buttons", select "Browser: view" and drag "Text selection" wherever you want.
Default functionality not easy, so it can be turned on temporarily by holding Ctrl-Alt or in opera:config#Scroll Is Pan. After that you can drag page... and yes you can't select text. Lucky, it can be turned on/off by custom button. To install, click on link, than go to customizing, and you can find this button in "Button"-"My Buttons" section. So drag this button wherever you want.

Maciej Duda, now Opera have a special button "Text selection".
Go to "Appearance > Buttons", select "Browser: view" and you can find "Text selection" button.
