Feature Request: Enable Timeline Navigation with Middle Mouse Button in Premiere Pro

Dear Adobe Team,

I would like to kindly request the addition of a much-needed feature in Adobe Premiere Pro: the ability to move the timeline by pressing and holding the middle mouse button.

The idea is simple — when pressing the middle mouse button, the cursor should change to the “hand” icon, allowing the user to freely drag the timeline horizontally (left or right) or even vertically, just like in After Effects or Illustrator.

Currently, working in Premiere Pro without this feature feels extremely inconvenient and slows down the editing workflow. It is surprising that such a basic and highly useful navigation tool, which has existed in After Effects and Illustrator for many years, is still not available in Premiere Pro.

Adding this feature would greatly improve the user experience, making editing faster, more intuitive, and consistent across Adobe applications.

Thank you for your attention to this request. I strongly believe that this small but powerful improvement would be greatly appreciated by many Premiere Pro users around the world.

Best regards,

Mikhail
