I’ve started using lightburn on a laptop with a touchpad and begun having major issues with Panning. The touchpad has a center-click button, but lightburn doesn’t seem to recognize it. I also tried enabling “Press Left And Right Buttons For Middle Click” in ubuntu, and it doesn’t recognize that, either. I went to go assign it a shortcut key, but when I assigned it to the Q key (to keep it near Esc for the Select tool), I got a message in green stating that the shortcut key was Unmodified. This was in fact the intention, as most creative programs (blender, audacity, adobe, affinity, vstudio, When I’m making quick adjustments in the shop, I’m usually supporting the laptop with one hand leaving only my right hand available, so any solution requiring two hands is going to be less useful than just manually clicking on “pan” every single time. Are there any known work-arounds for this? Anything anyone can recommend that will let me use single-key shortcuts?
You can try pressing Space + pan with the touchpad.
I had read this in LightBurn’s documentation but it doesn’t work at all, even on a laptop with an out-of-the-box Windows installation with all the manufacturer’s drivers on it, and it also doesn’t work in Linux. The documentation specifically mentioned the mac version, and googling found a lot of other people having the same issue, so I just assumed it was a feature for the mac version only.
Even if it did work, on a touchpad that would be a bit of a stretch to do one-handed: left click down, spacebar, AND a finger free to pan around, but again, my understanding is that mac touchpads don’t even have mouse buttons anymore so that wouldn’t be as much of concern for Mac users.
