This is one of those great ideas that will save professionals and assistants a lot of time, especially during conforms. It's not a new request. I've seen this idea floated around on many forums for many years including this one. I remember one of the early requests got shut down by a staff-level person without due consideration, their reply was to the effect of "Nobody does this, nobody wants this, I am shutting this request down" (I just tried to find it on here but might have been deleted)

By now we can safely assume most people gave up on the notion that it will happen and just found workarounds to this already since it is not enough to hop back down to the other NLEs.

My own fix was to buy a Logitech gaming mouse and add a macro to the middle mouse button. When I click and hold the middle mouse it executes a "H", then "left click (pressed down)". This simulates the Hand dragging tool that we all want. When I let go of the middle mouse button, it executes a "V" to return to my normal mouse pointer.

Middel mouse as in scroll?

As of now you can set the scroll to vertical of horizontal timeline scroll.

I have to admit the scroll is not as fast as the Hand tool for horizontal movement.

Moved post to Ideas board.

Just to get specificity, your request would be to middle-click/drag a timeline asset, correct? And the timeline panel would move if you went either left or right of the current location/view?
