CADMouse Middle Mouse pan in Photoshop

Post by skivvie »

I'm trying to get the middle mouse button to work as a PAN/HAND TOOL in Photoshop with a CADMouse on Mac.

Works fine in Illustrators as Mouse Button 3, but no such luck in Photoshop. I've tried ever combo I can think of in the Button Mappings, but there's no way to make it work that I can find without having the Space Bar as a modifier key. The normal shortcut in photoshop is Spacebar-clickdrag. When you map the MMB to the space bar keystroke, it obviously ignores the mouse click and just sends spacebar, so no luck there, you get the hand tool but no click.

Any ideas or solutions greatly appreciated!

Mac you must usually set MMB to 2D Mouse > Click Mouse Button 3.

This is MacOS official MMB.
In Many Apps MB3 does Pan (beside SPACE+click drag)

But there are certain Apps where it does still not work, e.g. Preview.
And it does also not work with my Wacom Pen, unfortunately
