Can I request that as an addition to the Grabber icon on the toolbar you adopt the Adobe Photoshop method of using the Space bar to invoke the Grabber functionality when viewing diagrams? This way you could move around a large diagram very easily without the need to keep clicking the Grabber icon to change the cursor to a fist.
I think anyone who uses Photoshop will know what I mean!

I'm not a Photoshop user.  Does it act as a toggle?  I.e. you click it to move into a grabber mode and click it again to move out of grabber mode?  It does sound like a good idea in any case.

Simon, yes, it acts like a toggle. Whilst the space-bar is held down, the curser turns into, and acts as, the grabber-fist. As soon as the space-bar is released, the cursor reverts to normal. This feature is also present in Adobe Acrobat Reader (as well as Photoshop).
I think that FH does not currently use the space-bar for any functionality when displaying charts, so if it could be programmed to toggle the grabber, I'm sure many would find it a very useful feature.

I just tried it out in Adobe Acrobat Reader. It does seem useful. So, OK I've taken note.

You learn something new every day!!

I've used Acrobat for years (full, creating secure documents as well as just reading) and never knew/used this one - seems like a useful work around to a common need?

Thanks
