Panning and Zooming the editors:
================================
There are different ways to pan and zoom:
The default shortcut keys H and L pan the Pianoroll, Drum Editor, and Wave Editor
 right and left.
Shift + Mouse Wheel pans the Arranger, Pianoroll, Drum Editor, and Wave Editor.
The Pan tool (hand) lets you pan just by dragging the canvases. Hold Shift to
 constrict movement vertically. Hold Ctrl to constrict movement horizontally.
And the horizontal scroll bars obviously pan all windows as well.

The default shortcut keys Ctrl + PageUp and Ctrl + PageDown zoom the Arranger,
 Pianoroll, Drum Editor, and Wave Editor about the mouse cursor position.
Ctrl + Mouse Wheel also zooms these editors, about the mouse cursor position.
The Zoom tool (magnifier) lets you zoom just by dragging the canvases.
And the horizontal magnification scroll bars obviously zoom as well, but they
 do not zoom about any cursor, they zoom from the left edge.

By default, the Pan and Zoom tools have continuous, borderless motion, using a
 special coding technique. This is great for track-ball mice for example, because
 it lets you keep rolling and rolling without border limits!
An alternate, more standard method is available by un-checking "Borderless zoom/pan"
 in Global Settings -> GUI Behaviour. This method does present border limitations
 on how far you can move before you must reposition the mouse.
