Grasp and Scroll is active only when the left mouse click is in hand mode, i.e. when the open hand button is pressed as in Figure 3.11. The cursor in hand mode is an open hand as in Figure 3.14. As soon as left mouse button is pressed down, the cursor turns to a close hand as in Figure 3.15. It indicates the canvas will move in the same direction that the cursor moves as long as the left mouse button remain pressed. The grasp and scroll mode in time ruler canvas can only move horizontally, but the grasp and scroll mode in timeline canvas allows movement in both vertical and horizontal axes.
