is a small video with the touchpad panning I am currently working on.

First part is with timer, second without.
Watch my fingers in the first part… yes, they do move even if KiCad does nothing and jumps somewhere when I stop panning.
If you move incredibly slow, panning follows fingers on touchpad.

Cocoa events have a hasPreciseScrollingDeltas method that will provide this information.  It is used in wxWidgets window.mm, for instance, when translating NSEvents to wx events.
