[Enhancement]: Add move painter

[claws99]

What happened?

Its both a bug and a feature request.

On non-touch devices we use mouse scroll wheel to up and down. I want to scroll to the left and right,

Or bring certain part of the canvas to the center of the screen. Or move the canvas to show desire part. There is no way to do that on windows. Ctrl+Zoomwheel is not a substitute for it. There has to be a better way

Problem is arising because:
Hand tool is selecting stuff on screen, which technically is the function of selection tool (in all other notetaking apps that's what it is called). Moving the canvas should be the job of hand tool.

Solution:

• Rename the current Hand tool to selection tool & change its icon. (this later on allows us to add other selection modes to it related [Feature request]: Add lasso select #409)
• Implement hand tool like this:

OneNote.-.Hand.Panning.Tool.mp4

On non touch devices you can use the shift key + scroll to move to the left or right, and the middle/right mouse button to move freely

aah! in that case, it will only become an enhancement then.

[CodeDoctorDE]

Yeah, technically there is already a "Move Painter" that will be added temporarily when you click on the middle mouse button.
I only need to add it to the add dialog for the ui

[claws99]

Can we please stick to the general terminology used by other apps ?

Hand tool and selection tool. (even pdf readers use same terminology)

Why break the accepted conventions and confuse the first-time users?

[CodeDoctorDE]

Tools are already taken for ruler and grid. But we can discuss this on the discord. That's just a new type that will be added

[CodeDoctorDE]

Added in 2.0.0-beta.6

[CodeDoctorDE]

I would rename the hand painter after we discuss how we are naming things like painters

UI Enhancement:
Change cursor state to hand on selection of tool
onMouseDown cursor start to hand-grabbing

[claws99]

Renaming & changing icons:

The current hand tool needs to be

• renamed to Select
• icon changed to selection

The laser tool also has the same icon.
