Thanks for the suggestions guys, this particular request though is already there. If you hold the space bar while hovering the canvas, the left mouse button function is changed from selection to scrolling the view
Thank you, I didn't know that :). I'd prefer to scroll using the middle mouse button, though. Many programs do it this way and you rarely need to use middle and left mouse at the same time. Having to use both hands is a bit fiddly.
I really like the way it is done in Inkscape:
Mouse wheel - Scroll up and down
Ctrl + Mouse wheel - Zoom
Middle Mouse - Drag
EDIT:
Further Bugs:
Moved the bug list here.
Further Suggestion:
When creating a new keyframe, if the animated object didn't have a keyframe in the last created overall keyframe, set one automatically, so it won't start the newly created animation at the last create keyframe for this object (which might be frame 0 in many cases). Deleting this keyframe is easier than rearranging the object to prevent weird stuff from happening.
If copying keyframes works in the future, this is less of a problem, though. Another solution would be to be able to manually create additional keyframes that just copy the values from the respective previous ones.
