Enable panning of map while Geometry Picker is active

VertiGIS Studio Web 5.27 added the ability to hold the SPACE key as a modifier to use cursor keys to pan the map while using the Geometry Picker.

There are many occasions when a user may need to pan the map in order to complete a line or polygon sketch using the Geometry Picker. The default pan action (left-button drag) simply adds vertices along the mouse path but does not pan the map. Could an alternate mouse action (e.g., shift-drag or cmd-drag) be added to the Geometry Picker to enable the user to pan the map while the Picker is active? Thanks.

  Jeff Kapellas If you are referring to the Web sketch tools (as opposed to the Workflow geometry picker) there is a way to do this today. We recognized the same problem. We have a story for a more robust fix.

  Today you can disable freehand drawing when sketching lines and polygons.

  This then allows you to press-and-hold the left mouse button to pan the map (whereas if freehand isn't disabled that would cause you to begin drawing freehand).

  Here is an example of a polygon drawing tool configured with this option.

  [

    {

      "name": "sketching.capture-geometry",

      "arguments": {

        "geometryType": "polygon",

        "disableFreehand": true,

        "pluginSettings": {

          "snapping": true

        }

      }

    },

    "drawing.create-graphics",

    "map.add-markup"

  ]

  Hi Cam Barnard :

  Thank you. That's useful to know. However, I was specifically referring to the Workflow Geometry Picker. The use case for the request is as follows:

  Open a workflow form -> use the Geometry Picker to draw a polygon around the features to be selected -> use resulting polygon is to query a feature layer
  
  It's sometimes not possible to get all of the desired features to be selected into a single map extent (due to layer scale-visibility restrictions, etc.), so having a way to pan the map while using the Geometry Picker would be very helpful.
