Feature Request: Add middle mouse button (scroll wheel click) as shortcut for Hand Tool

[BenDeg]

Most of the design and creation software I use all use the middle mouse button (clicking on the scroll wheel) to allow you to slide the canvas around (basically the Hand tool equivalent). Even Illustrator now supports this functionality. (This button press seems to be available because it appears as though clicking the scroll wheel in Photoshop does nothing.) I currently use the space bar to temporarily trigger the Hand Tool, but it's annoying going back and forth between Photoshop and essentially ANY video software that all use the space bar for Play.

Please add middle mouse button/scroll wheel click as a shortcut to temporarily enable the Hand Tool

I second this. It's almost 2024 and Photoshop still doesn't have this great feature. Illustrator has it though.

I have just found out that the middle click was implemented in 1996 by Microsoft (Intellimouse), and since then, it has been widely adopted by all computer mouse manufacturers:

But for some reason, Adobe has not taken full advantage of having a scroll wheel with a middle click, even after 27 years. Adobe's developers seem to be very lazy.
