Mmm, did not know the space+mouse move, middle click etc...

But still I think we do not need a zoom in and zoom out button, that
could be one as in most other graphic tools. Mmm, actually trying out
the space/move option, I think we could do with one button: pan/zoom :-)

My question also comes from my hope to come to a more generic way of
handling mouse/keyboard in graphic programs. I think in general it would
be a good thing when these would be more adjustable, or even able to
create 'profiles': a set of shortcuts for certain type of work. For
example it could be possible to put QGIS in CAD-mode, making the step
for an average AutoCAD/Microstation digitizer smaller to use QGIS for
his/her daily work...

Maybe a more advanced interface, making 'maptool' even more pluggable so
CAD-maptools could be easier molded to personal tools?

Anyway, keep moving :-)
