Is it possible to pan (spacebar) in the middle of a lasso selection (freehand selection)? I’m coming from photoshop where the selection would “pause” for you to use the pan tool, and it’s quite convenient while selecting portions while zoomed in.
Help is appreciated!
EDIT: Attached a video to explain better (using photopea, photoshop equivalent)
It looks like it’s only the Polygonal, Bezier Curve and Magnetic Curve Selection tools that let you do that.
You can use Action:Add in the Tool Options docker (or press and hold Shift while selecting) to build up the selected region in between panning actions.
I see, thanks for the suggestions! I find the freehand selection tool to be the fastest way to select for my workflow, so getting used to the tools you mentioned would take some time.
I do know about holding Shift to add to the selection, which sounds like the next best option for my case.
Thanks!
In the case of the lasso selection is trickier because you are selecting with the button pressed. So the pan tool should be selected and activated inmediatelly. I’ll take a look but cannot promise anything.
@Polle and anyone interested: I made a merge request that implements this on the line tool, gradient tool, rectangle/ellipse shape/selection tools and the freehand selection tool (lasso).
It uses the shortcuts set in the canvas input settings and supports both the pan mode and the pan left/up/right/down shortcuts using key+mouse_click and keys.
Here are the test packages:
Hi @Deif_Lou , I tested the appimage, and it works really well. 
I tested mainly rectangular shape, rectangular selection, and freehand selection (lasso). I’ll use it for sure as it allows to do more precise freehand selection when zoomed in. It’s also convenient for tracing my panels on the comic (and, eg. aligning to my grid at high zoom). I tried with spacebar + tablet. I also tested with a mouse click and a middle click. What I couldn’t test: middle mouse button emulation on the stylus.
Thank you! It works very well!
@Deif_Lou thanks this works excellently, I tested this on fedora 36 linux with both mouse and the pen tablet. Freehand select tool, rectangle tool, ellipse tool and their selection counterparts. I also tested with gradient tool and in all of them this works really well. I did not find any issue for half hour of painting. 
Side-note and not related to this patch., the selection outline seems to have distracting green XOR flickers and it really becomes bother some. If you need a video let me know.
Yes, this is annoying. There are already a few bug reports about the issue and I told Dmitry about it some time ago.
