Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Xreader with a zoomed-in PDF and review the existing viewport scrolling and pointer-input handling; no source files or tests are named in the report. Done means users can invoke a hand cursor with right click and pan the document around the viewport without relying only on the scroll bars.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

 * Xreader version (xreader --version)
 * Distribution - (Mint 17.2, Arch, Fedora 25, etc...)

Issue
Poor ability to pan or 'hand' move around a PDF document when zoomed in. Seems like you have to move to the scroll bars as the only means of minor shifting of your viewpoint of the document.
My usage is primarily looking at zoom in areas of mechanical datasheets of component on circuit boards.

Steps to reproduce

Expected behaviour
Right click to get a 'hand' cursor to pan the document around the viewport.

Other information
Did a search for 'pan', 'hand', 'scroll' and found nothing. Perhaps feature is there but not documented. I did try common modifier keys with clicking and nothing happened 'as expected'
