My organization recently updated our Portal version which introduces the Web Editor. Wanted to give that go since I've been using a small JS 4.x API app to do some basic editing for a particular purpose. One thing I don't like is that if I'm sketching a new linear feature and need to pan the map, I have to use the directional pan buttons in the lower corner of the app. In the 4.X API editor widget, you can just right click with the mouse and use the hand tool to drag the map. This is much quicker and more direct than having to click the buttons in the lower corner. It would also be more consistent across ESRI applications.

Hi @SteveCole

thanks for sharing your idea. We do have a shortcut that allows you to move the map while working. You can hold the spacebar and then left click to move the map while you are in selection or feature creation mode. Hope this helps! -Emily
