I am brand new to StudioOne coming from Cubase. One of the first things I notices is a break in producitivity by having to use Scrollbars or Shift-/Ctrl-Shift Mousewheel to pan in the editing windows. I got so used to using the Middle Mouse button for panning that I constantly open up the tool picker. Using the Middle Mouse for panning is really common nowadays, be it the web browser or professional art programs like Photoshop or Affinity's tools. Would be great to have in StudioOne as well. Especially saving quite some mouse miles. Thanks, Stefan
Please support!
Thank you for the feature request.
If anyone else agrees or disagrees, then please vote it up, or down.

The developers pay close attention to those that are voted on the most.
You are allowed one vote.
Just viewing and agreeing but not clicking on the vote does not help the issue.

This ain't gathering much support... seriously, the MMB is completely under-utilised in S1. Need to be able to pan in the various editors by grab-and-drag. Many graphic design applications work this way, FL Studio works this way. It enables accurate navigation and positioning. It would be a huge workflow improvement.
You've got a vote from me. As a prior Cubase user, it's the only deal breaker. There's already a toolbox kinda thing if you right click anyway. Why have this function twice with both middle and right click?
Middle button to pan is very common in graphic design and 3D modelling software, it significantly enhances the user experience and increases productivity.
Requested multiple times in different places—Presonus, are you listening?
Have to support this with an immense yes. This is a major deal breaker for me and that's why i'm using Cubase more and more when it comes to writing music.
@basdupr I agree, as a Windows user some times I feel like a second-class citizen. Plus, if I was using MacOS, then I would be using Logic, not Studio One, because it gets things right and is a lot cheaper. Studio One gets many things right, but many features still feel half-baked and it seems the focus is always on new big features rather than finishing off existing ones.
This is much needed, voted!
I would like to add my input to the request.
As it is written it could be interpreted like the old web browser scrolling type of deal. I would like the scroll function to work like grabbing the canvas does in most other software. E.g. Cubase, Reaper, FL Studio, BitWig and most photo editing and 3D editing software.
Specifically, Middle-click and drag drags the page, keeping the page fixed with the mouse cursor.
And it would be nice to have an option in the settings whether the user wishes to have the middle-click menu and/or scroll behavior, as I personally use keyboard shortcuts and never open the middle-click menu.
YES PLEASE.. Get it together on this request.. LOL. Such a workflow killer. Come On Devs. let's make this happen. Studio 5.3 or 5.4 This is such a common navigation method so it should definitely be implemented because that's how most users use a middle mouse button.
To further clarify: Studio One currently seems to restrict scrolling to one axis at a time, this feature needs to be unrestricted. The middle mouse dragging needs to move the screen effortlessly across both x and y axes simultaneously with absolute coordinates in relation to the mouse cursor.
Showing my support for this. Especially for the middle mouse panning features. 2021 please PreSonus
5 years and waiting. Wow.. must be really hard for Presonus to implement.. Over a hundred votes as well... I guess requests will need 200 or more before Presonus pays attention.
Just a side note: I've found that a small app called Smooze https://smooze.co/ provides some useful (close to the ones mentioned above) functionality to the MMB within Studio one. Once installed it turns a MMB click into a grabber tool which gives up/down and sLeft/Right panning in the arrange and also the Console. Not free Hand movement as in smooth smooth diagonal motion but still useful. Strangely holding down a command key on the mac whilst MMB dragging actual zooms Horizontally as well as Vertically. This is an awesome, if inexplicable bonus. Unfortunately the sensitivity is a little too high and I am as yet unable to work out whether that is customisable at all.
@stevenpalomino Smart Scroll is only available for Mac. I was really hoping this feature would be added in the next update, but Studio One 5.2 has already landed. Disappointing.
Please add this!!!
+100 for Modified behaviour of the Middle Mouse Button to allow pan and smooth zoom actions.
You haven't done it yet? Seriously?
www.magicprefs.com for MAC OSX Users.
It's Free and its EVERYTHING your looking for.
The mouse in studio one should be full custom much like magicprefs allows you to do.
PRESONUS take some pointers.
They are able to do everything everyone has asked to do with magic mouse in one small background applicaiton... and its free.
@jeremiahmcgowan Some interesting thoughts there, and you are probably right. I personally dislike that middle click took picker. It would be much better to move the two-dimensional took picker to the top of the right-click menu, similar to Bitwig. The ultimate solution is not a better picker but smarter tools that don't need constant switching.
Middle-click + scroll on wheel: vertical zoom in/out on ruler.
I agree with:
It could be confusing or difficult to implement the part about moving or not moving (to open the tool picker) while holding the middle button. I think just the option to turn on or off the tool picker or the option to freely assign it would be helpful. You can already change tools with a right click or going up to the controls at the top or even the keyboard shortcuts, we don't need a fourth way, we could use the mouse wheel button to scroll horizontally and also to zoom in while holding and physically scrolling on the wheel itself.
I say all this on my request too: https://answers.presonus.com/44095/horizontal-scroll-zoom-option-with-just-press-hold-mouse-wheel
Would be nice to have a Scroll Horizontally and or Vertically under Cursor, like in Reaper's software. This way you don't have to press any key down or switch any macro page. Just point and zoom. Also, What about an "Ignore scroll wheel over faders."
Hey everyone.. since I see this has been requested for years I'm leaving my solution here. This app allows you to use the MMB to scroll.
you can middle drag to navigate in fl studio, ableton, reaper and not in studio one and after trying these daws it's really pain to navigate in studio one
Pity this didn't make it into the 4.5 update.
Don't wait for the votes, just do it if the idea has only advantages.
How has this been requested for 5 years and not implemented yet?!?
@stevenpalomino Because, IMO, Presonus has got to the point where their software is popular enough that they don't need to beg for customers. Instead, now it's us customers begging them for features. In the beginning they were very eager to listen and please, but now their focus seems have steered in the direction of developing features that look impressive on marketing material but are, in practice, poorly implemented, half-baked or missing critical functionality. I stopped holing my breath for a number of highly requested features a long time ago, and I absolutely stopped buying upgrades and I'm currently using a different DAW. The arranger track, for example, is close to useless. It's as if the goal was not to release a decent arrangement tool, but rather something that they could put the words "arrange" and "track" to so that management could tick the box and slap it on marketing material. Once management are content that the feature has been delivered, the feature is forgotten.
Studio One would be my to-go choice if it had this (mmb panning) and expresssion maps. Already using other DAW, so I can't afford the full price but rent-to-own is too good...
As a long time FL Studio User who switched to S1 2 month ago, this is still a huge issue for me and the only thing I keep missing. At least an option to disable the zoom (and just keep the panning) on click & drag on the timeline would be a good start for me. I always accidentally zoom in / out if I just want to pan, which is extremly annoying to me.
