IdleTool Class
The default "idle" tool. If no tool is active, or the active tool does not respond to a given event, input events are forwarded to the idle tool. The default idle tool converts middle mouse button events and touch gestures into view navigation operations like pan, zoom, rotate, and fit.
Controls are as follows:
- Mouse/keyboard:
- mmb: pan
- shift-mmb: rotate
- wheel: zoom in/out
- double-mmb: fit view
- Touch:
- single-finger drag: rotate
- two-finger drag: pan
- pinch: zoom in/out
- double-tap: fit view
Touch inputs can be combined e.g. drag two fingers while moving them closer together => pan + zoom in
