I suggest that you add the option to easily move the current position of the photo in close-up while working with Healing. For example, you could use the middle mouse button or a combination of hotkeys.

Holding down the space bar puts you in a Panning mode.

Another hint is-

Start in magnified view looking at the top-left corner of the image,

Correct 'spots' in this window then press [Page Down]  (my Dell xps13 requires [Ctrl+arrow down)

As you repeat the [Page Down] you go down each 'column' and start again at the top of the next column.

Keep repeating [Page Down] and you will eventually be at the lower-right of the image knowing you have looked at every area of the image.

Wow.

I tested all the keys for this function but didn't think of a space.
Thanks for the good tip!

Best regards.

Just FYI – holding down the space bar shortcut to temporarily get the Hand (pan) tool is a traditional shortcut that originated in other Adobe applications such as Photoshop, so once you learn it, you can take advantage of it in other applications too.
