Jog, Scroll and Aids to window navigation

For Navigation around the Main FC Window. I'm getting used to the new interface and its feeling pretty good.
(The dark theme looks real great but its contrast and ease of finding edges is shocking! sorry)

Scrolling
The scroll wheel works well for the Vertical but SHIFT+Scroll is quite jerky (very granular).
Could the granularity for Vertical and Horizontal scrolling be adjustable in settings?

A Pan/Jog button.
A keyboard key press that centres the screen on the current mouse position. If that key is held down and the mouse moves the screen is panned about, letting you roam your flowcode.

Scroll Bars
Small thing... but have the vertical and horizontal scroll bars got thinner? They are used so much when moving around a large flowcode diagram, they seem very thin to quickly locate and grab ... especially when your doing this many times a minute.

Horizontal scrolling seems ok to me. Maybe the layout of your program shows the problem better - please attach or PM your program and I'll have a look.

The pan/jog button is a good idea - I'll add it to the list.

I've just checked and interestingly the scrollbars are actually the same size in v7 and v6! They look thinner in v7, but I think that is a visual illusion and the active area for the scroll bar (i.e. where the mouse click responds) is the same size - see the dotted lines in the image below...

Hi Steve, thanks for checking... It may be a Windows 10 artifact for the Scroll Bar thickeness. Or screen update rate issue, so machin specific.
I note there are some Scroll Rate settings for Vert and Horizontal in Windows 10 Mouse Settings.. only just found them on the works machine.
Will check to see if this helps. J.

For info, I'm running Win10 and the screenshot is also under Win10.
