1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

Given that "Pointer Mode" and "Hand Mode" are mutually exclusive, why not combine them into a single toggle button and assign them to a single shortcut key? This approach would simplify user interaction by reducing shortcut combinations.

Furthermore, taking inspiration from ComfyUI's approach: pressing and holding the Shift/Cmd key temporarily activates Pointer Mode (enabling node selection and other operations), while releasing the key automatically reverts back to Hand Mode.

2. Additional context or comments

3. Can you help us with this feature?

Hi, @amimi818. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the Dify team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • Proposal to merge "Pointer Mode" and "Hand Mode" into a single toggle button and shortcut key.
  • Suggestion to use a method similar to ComfyUI, where holding Shift/Cmd temporarily activates Pointer Mode.
  • You expressed willingness to contribute to the implementation.
  • No comments or activity have been made on this issue yet.

Next Steps:

  • Please confirm if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the Dify repository by commenting here.
  • If there is no further activity, this issue will be automatically closed in 15 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!

I have talked with out designer, and come into the conclusion, we do not have a plan for this.

Sorry for this :(
