I have disabled automatic panning long ago. I find it irritating when the canvas moves simply because the cursor bumps into an edge. I use zooming instead, combind with the “Center and warp cursor on zoom”.

Everything together the steps are:

  1. Select the thing you want to move, and start moving in the right direction.
  2. If you get near the edge, zoom out with the scroll wheel (This also pans).
  3. Near the destination, zoom in again if needed, and place the selection.

For me this has at least two advantages. First, it does not confuse me with pans at moments I do not want them. Second, when zooming out, a bigger part of the schematic fits on the canvas. As a result you have a better overview of where you want to go.

But different people have different workflows. Do as you wish.
