Add Page Up/Page Down/Page Left/Page Right navigation commands

I, in arcmap we have navigation button we can use to navigate easily in layout or map.

Can't find the same in Pro so, add them.

Where exactly is that toolbar in ArcMap? I have never used it before.

You should move this to the ArcGIS Pro Ideas community.

Thanks for the idea @MarcelSt-Germain

I moved it from the ArcGIS Online idea exchange over here to the ArcGIS Pro idea exchange.

As asked by Robert, could you provide more context around the buttons you're showing from ArcMap?

I'm looking at a layout in ArcMap right now and do not see what you're seeing, so providing more context and how you use the buttons will be helpful.

Thanks

These are the Page Up/Down/Left/Right buttons from the Pan/Zoom category of commands in ArcMap's Customize menu. They can be selected to customize a toolbar. I have also found them useful in ArcMap, especially the Page Left and Right buttons, since my keyboard doesn't have standard keys for those commands. I haven't yet found the same buttons available in ArcGIS Pro's Customize the Ribbon menu.

Thanks for the clarification. I changed this idea's title from 'navigation' to 'Add Page Up/Page Down/Page Left/Page Right navigation commands'

Exactly that. Thanks

Hi Marcel, I just wanted to make sure that your main use case here is in the layout, correct? Because the Page Up, Page Down, Home and End keys work to navigate in this way in a map, just not currently in a layout...

Hi Kory,

Hope to see it for layouts and maps to add them in the quick access toolbar. I'm not fan of keyboard actions. But, what I find in trying in in map, or layout map activated, is a line displacement not a page displacement like the double arrow provide in arcmap.

Very useful to prevent missing part of the page in the annotations cleanup.

By the way, a simple improvement could be add. Just colored the last direction use. Could be useful since a project could be done in many sessions so, a colored arrow could help us the direction we use last.

Hi, yes this will very helpful. If ESRI could be this reactive for the mapseries improvements.

Hey @MarcelSt-Germain , I actually made a mistake here! This is Under Consideration, meaning that the item is in our backlog of development. We are interested in this idea, but since we do not have this assigned for a release, it should be Under Consideration instead of In Product Plan. More information about the Ideas statues can be found in our

I apologize for the confusion!

@AmeliaBradshaw

Was to nice to be true. Will take a long time to make Pro as useful as arcmap for mapmaking. Stick with both for a long long time, I think.

I deal with chronic pain and having to use both a keyboard and mouse for navigation is rather difficult. The pan/zoom and page down/up/left/right buttons in ArcMap were great for accessibility, allowing me to do my work exclusively with my mouse/mouse buttons. But unless I buy a mouse with 8+ buttons to customize, I cannot do work with only my mouse in ArcPro. A very big downgrade from ArcMap, at least from an Accessibility perspective. It is disheartening to see this post is over 3 years old and the feature has yet to be added.

There are multiple threads regarding this issue. I will reiterate what I said in a different thread to try to boost the visibility of this idea.

In Arc Map there were the Page Down, Left, Right, and Up commands (they look like fast forward and rewind buttons when added to a toolbar). These differ in an important way from the way that Home, End, Pg Up, and Pg Down function in ArcGIS Pro: they do not pan over entirely. This means that there is some overlap between the views when you pan. This is key since my work involves a very thorough review of satellite imagery.

I am pleased to see this has been moved to the Product Plan. Having these options will make it much easier to work with my disability and will really improve my quality of life even though it is just a simple addition.

Yes, hope they will make them for the map and layout. Also, if they could add a fix map in layout view like I suggested.

This is available in ArcGIS Pro 3.5.

@AubriOtis

Check on screen and try to see that in options without succès. Where it is ?
