Description Savvas Radević 2009-02-04 12:19:42 UTC 
It would be great if the developers could add a hand mouse pointer, with which I could drag the document page left, right, up or down, instead of using the keyboard arrow keys.
While the keyboard is great to browse, the specific reason for this implementation is the diagonal page drag I commonly require for my PDF document view.

Also, it would be great if it could be set through the menu View > Pointer > Normal or Hand.

You can use middle mouse button for drag.
Comment 2 Savvas Radević 2009-02-04 13:02:31 UTC 
Ah I see, it was even documented, sorry!
Could the second part be included as well? Something to allow the user to set the default mouse pointer action?

Well, we were going to have tablet mode indeed, mostly it's the bug
