Description

Use your Mouse or Stylus to grab and pan web pages

User Guide:
- Refresh tab after installing to activate the extension.
- Default For Windows: Press and drag Right Mouse to pan.
- Default For Ubuntu: Press and drag Middle Mouse to pan.
- Default For Mac: Press and Hold Ctrl and move pointer to pan.
- For Stylus users, it's recommended to setup one of the buttons on your stylus to be Ctrl Key and use that button to activate panning.
- See Options page for more details. (After installation, Right Click on this extension's icon, then click Options).
- To quickly turn extension On/Off, pin the extension icon, then clicking on the icon will switch it on/off.
- This extension works best with mouses, stylus drawing tablets, laptop touchpad (only in case it doesn't provide convenient panning by gesture).

*Since emitting custom Wheel Event no longer has any effect on scrolling, the extension now falls back to update element.scrollTop & scrollLeft directly, which might cause layout issues with certain websites while scrolling.
*As you might have noticed, this extension also no longer works with chrome's pdf reader. After an update some time ago, Chrome's pdf readers has started to run within a hidden internal extension window and there seems to be no way for other extension to manipulate scroll position of that window.

Features
- Natural Sliding and Frictions.
- Option page to change and preview settings.
- Settings syncs across tabs.
- Turn On and Off easily by clicking on Extension Icon.

Hand Tool for Google Chrome makes scrolling any webpage similar to:
- Pdf Readers
- Photoshop Hand Tool
- Google Map Panning Hand
- Scrolling a smart phone...
- Grab-and-Drag extension on Firefox

Can't see this "Hand Tool is Scrolling Speed is 1.0 Activated by" pale gray settings text on the dark grey background. Clicking on 'Activated by' to choose right mouse button for example, does not do anything. Hand tool title is misleading as it does not work like a hand tool in Photoshop would or any other app that would have a workplace larger than screen and needed moving around. Coordinating ctrl click (on Mac) with mouse movement is incredibly frustrating. Moving a page in desired direction often results in inertial movement in opposite direction by letting the ctrl go a little bit after finishing the move (to return the mouse back into original place for the next scroll) or the ctrl key release having a delayed registration by plugin.
