This tool is a custom node for ComfyUI that allows users to navigate the canvas using the arrow keys, featuring an adjustable pan speed setting. It enhances the user experience by providing a more intuitive way to move around the canvas while working on projects.
- Enables arrow key navigation for smooth canvas panning.
- Customizable pan speed to suit individual user preferences.
- Designed to maintain standard arrow key functionality in specific scenarios.
Context
This custom node is designed to facilitate canvas navigation within ComfyUI, making it easier for users to move around their workspace without relying solely on mouse interactions. Its primary purpose is to enhance usability by integrating keyboard navigation directly into the ComfyUI environment.
Key Features & Benefits
The standout feature is the ability to pan the canvas using the arrow keys, which allows for a more fluid workflow when adjusting the view of the workspace. Users can also customize the pan speed, providing flexibility to accommodate different working styles and preferences, ultimately leading to a more efficient creative process.
Advanced Functionalities
While the main function is straightforward, there are specific conditions where the arrow keys will not pan the canvas—such as when an image node is selected or when another UI element is obstructing the canvas. Users can report any issues where unexpected behavior occurs, and there is also the option to modify the code to exclude certain UI windows from blocking the canvas navigation.
Practical Benefits
This tool significantly improves workflow by allowing users to navigate the canvas effortlessly, which can enhance focus and productivity. The ability to adjust pan speed means users can tailor their experience, making it easier to work on intricate details without losing context or control.
