Hello, if this is the wrong section, I apologize. I just started playing with NeoLemmix, and I notice that P, Middle click, and F11 all pause the game. I use a trackball, and it is kind of difficult to constantly move to the mini map or the sides of the level. I could be wrong, but I thought in the original DOS game, you could drag the level view by right click+dragging. If I am wrong, I suggest adding an optional method to drag and pan the level, rather than using the mini-map or physically going to the left or right sides of the screen.

I already suggested something similar to this here (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=5894.msg95213#msg95213) and the idea was sadly rejected on the grounds that it's past the deadline for new features being introduced to NeoLemmix. Namida has plans to release a "final" version of NL and wants to wrap up the process of adding new stuff, understandably.
However, a quick search led me to this topic (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=3282.msg64190#msg64190), which was never actually resolved as such and which seems to be suggesting a similar thing. From here, I discovered that NeoLemmix has a Hold-To-Scroll function which can be assigned to a hotkey.
Try this:
1 Open NeoLemmix
2 Click the cogs card (or press F3) to open the settings menu
3 Click "Configure Hotkeys" - this opens the hotkeys dialog
4 Make sure "Show Unassigned Keys" is checked (at the top right)
5 Choose any unassigned key (it will say "Nothing" to show that nothing has yet been assigned)
6 Use the dropdown list on the right to find the "Hold-To-Scroll" option, and assign it to your chosen key
Now, close the menu dialogs and launch a level which requires horizontal or vertical scrolling. You will notice that by pressing and holding the hotkey, you can use the mouse to track around the level. I wonder if this solves your issue?

Adding to the above, you can also assign it to the middle or right (but not left) mouse button; it doesn't have to be to a key.

Yes, this actually is exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Glad to hear it :lemcat:
