Left mouse button to scroll - keep it that way or make it an option

I recently found that scrolling with mouse requires RIGHT button.  It’s inconsistent with other services (namely MURAL) and very confusing to me.  I’ve learned it might be an experimental feature and not available to every user yet. 

Or better yet, make it an option - you can choose to scroll by right button or left button.  Skimming through this wish list I was surprised to learn that some kind of tools use right button scrolling and it’s the consistent way in the genre.  It’s great to see broad range of users are using Miro - but some of us have different experiences.

Most whiteboarding or drawing applications i have use (including Mural) the left mouse button - my guess is to mimic the pointing with the index finger. I find the change to the right mouse button very awkward and it definitely has reduce my productivity in this tool that I have been for using over a year now. I have been using it daily for few weeks now and i really dislike it. I strongly suggest updating Miro to allow this to be configurable (left or right mouse key, with or without modifiers like Alt, Ctrl). Whiteboarding tools are already tough enough to use by the novice in workshops this change just complicates matters for the worse and has users fighting with the tool instead of just getting work done. It has definitely added more friction and frustration to my use of this tool.

Scroll and zoom are totally jacked up in Miro. Please, PLEASE - enable scroll on the left mouse button AND the mouse wheel. I switch between Figma and Miro all day every day, and the inconsistent functionality is making me crazy.
