Image from store Hand Tool

Description from store 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). Change Log: 1.9.0 - 21/04/2021 - Fix initialization bug on Mac. - Remove cursor styling. - Update option text. 1.5.0 - 18/04/2021 - Update option UI. - Update default behaviour for different operating systems. - Remove unnecessary permission request and republished. 1.4.0 - 18/10/2017 - Fix issue with Chrome 61+. - Fix extension's auto reload mechanism when extension update. *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

(2023-09-30) Jay S. Marlow: It works fine. My main issues are that it does not work on the PDF viewer on the Edge browser, which is the primary reason I wanted it. The other major flaw is that it cannot work with just the left mouse button. You should be able to click it on when you need it, use it to scroll with the left mouse button, then if you need to highlight text you click it off and use the left mouse button to highlight text. That is the way it has worked on every other app or program I have seen that has a hand or grabber tool. Most of the time you do not need the hand tool on, only when you are viewing a zoomed document.

(2022-04-16) Mihály Nagy: THIS IS AWESOME! It is one-of-a-kind! Thank you!
(2020-02-10) Sgt: This Extension is beyond what I was looking for.
(2020-01-08) Aerodyll UK (BBWatson): If you use a trackball without a scroll wheel this is phenomenal!
(2020-01-05) Aldo Marxis: i simply love it
(2019-11-26) piqlet piolet: It doesn't allow to use basic Ctrl+C Ctrl+V shortcuts on the web pages since I switch its activator from Right Mouse Button to Ctrl+Middle Mouse Button. This sacrifice simply doesn't worth it. It's pretty handy sometimes though.
(2019-11-23) Maphra Maphra: Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
(2019-10-24) W T: Pretty good!
(2019-10-21) Brett Wyrick: Just needed something to easily scroll side-to-side on Azure Devops boards - this does the trick. No more ctrl+scroll for me :D
(2019-05-22) Jinggo Improso: .excellent! works what it says it does. Thanks
(2019-05-07) Andrei Soifer: Man, we do really need to scroll by Left Mouse only! Take a look on the Grab'n'Drag on Firefox — they disable grabbing over text and links (customizable).
(2019-05-04) Andrew B: Great while it worked. No longer works. Needs updating.
(2019-03-04) Very nice tool. Works great!!
(2018-11-16) BIOS-Pherecydes: Exceptional. I've been spoiled by this now. I can never go back.
(2018-11-07) Evg Zh: Perfect! Using it for touch-like scroll with stylus button, very convenient!
(2018-10-04) もちほっぺ: Great!!
(2018-08-09) Borrell Fankam: This is sweet man, just what I've been looking for. I have a decent mouse at work but the scroll wheel is sectioned and not smooth-scrolling, so it scrolls in lines. Even with the smoothscroll extension page navigation wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be and I got the idea to use the hand tool that I use in Adobe Acrobat because I enjoy reading PDFs with that. BINGO! I found the same thing for chrome and am really enjoying my first 4 minutes with it lol. P.S. It also has a "sliding" effect where u can pull the page down for example and it will keep going for a little bit as it loses momentum!
(2018-07-08) Joan-Angelo Enrile: Holding CTRL blocks all other CTRL shortcuts, even when the hand tool is deactivated. I can't even copy&paste without right clicking the mouse anymore. :(
(2018-06-11) Dean Or: This works great except sometimes even if you drag the right click menu comes up. Could be useful to add some hotkey options.
(2018-05-28) Tekken Force: давно искал
(2018-05-24) WeissP 765: please add Left Mouse without ctrl!!! I can use shortcuts to open or close this tool. Right Mouse is for the Gestrue.
(2018-03-12) Greg Goog: This is the ONLY extension of this kind that works on Chromium on Linux Mint, and it is AMAZING! THANK YOU!
(2018-02-08) Isaiah Frazier: It seems to work on websites just fine but not for pdf's, which is the main reason I needed it...
(2017-10-19) Zachary Worthy: Stopped working for a while, but now it's working again fine.
(2017-09-30) Max: Grandioso Ho appena scoperto questa funzione, e devo dire che è superiore all'uso della rotella del mouse e ad altri tipi di scrolling Prevedo una lunga permanenza con questo applicativo UPDATE: Sept 2017 Need a fix ASAP!!
(2017-09-22) dw declare: this extension WAS very useful, but it suddenly stopped working today. what the heck?
(2017-05-22) WeAreStirlingites: Does not even work. Don't waste your time downloading this.
(2017-05-14) Kazik Gawek: I found your extension actually best for my Wacom One, but what ruined everything, is that I have to use CTRL for Left Click option. Come on, I understand that it is responsible for text selection, but many pages don't have text on sides. I am the user - let me choose what is suitable for me. Also I wish that there was option to enable left click ONLY and ONLY for scrolling. Nothing else - grabbing pictures, selecting, clicking and if there are - rest of them. Anyway, Your's software was best out of 3-4 I tried. No one of them worked. Even with button.
(2017-03-31) Teodor Foca: In mozilla Firefox is a similar tool, but with drag and slide options!!! Please try to add more options to it - like slide delays in seconds.. o try that tool in FF and see what I am talking about. Thanks! It is a very good tool,but not yours(yet)! Lets make it better. ;)
(2017-03-16) Eddie Armstrong: Is it possible to make the hand icon appear instead of the pointer one when scrolling? Awesome app btw
(2017-01-12) dust Star: This extention is really cool~ It's really helpful. thanks~~~~
(2016-09-25) didier Namur: Ca ne marche pas... De plus, on ne peut pas utiliser le bouton gauche de la souris (pour cause de conflit) alors que c'est possible sur Firefox)
(2016-05-29) Chris Woo: Doesn't work
