[Feature Request] Key bindings for panning / moving view

Heya!

New user here, trying out void to put some ideas in my head down about a ttrpg campaign I'm trying to plan out.

I have a big pile of ideas that I'm interrelating with arrows (story elements leading to other story elements, connections between physical places, relationships between characters).

I'm using manual layout because I need to group nodes by category (plot vs place vs person) as well as chronology or physical location. (Also because in auto layout the arrows are impossible to follow). Anyway, I quickly run into issues with space, the most signifigant being that it's a little hard to navigate.

After rebinding scrolling commands (my laptop doesn't have page keys), I found that they helped, but because it jumps a whole page at a time, it can be hard to get the view, and the nodes, where I want them to be. As far as I'm aware, there's also now way to scroll to the side, which becomes a problem when my window shrinks.

I'd like to suggest keybindings for scrolling, maybe three characters at a time, in any cardinal direction. I personally feel that this might make it easier to navigate large, manually arranged maps, and just generally increase comfort and control.

I'd suggest Shift+, but IIRC there's no way to describe that in the config atm, and honestly I'd be down for whatever.

Thanks for hearing me out!
