Ramblings

Actually wanting to add this feature for a long while, but it wasn't until today when I noticed someone wanted the feature that I decided to make a User Javascript to be able to pan any web page with the mouse. The following User Javascript allows you to click, hold and drag a web page around in the same way you are used to move a map around, just remember to hold the shift key when dragging. This so that regular text selection and drag-n-dropping of images and pages doesnt break.

Update: You can scroll in big images without modifier key, and the scrolling should time out if you havppen to release the button outside of the browser.

Update2: Script now only allows to use the left mouse button. Hold down shift to drag pages, and shift not needed when dragging an image alone. Only images without tags surrounding can be used to move page.
