There never seems to be enough screen space when working with Expression Blend or Visual Studio. Sometimes in Blend the Artboard gets a little off center and you need to move it to see what you are working on.
In this screen shot the right edge of the button and window are not visible.
Scrollbars are so ’90′s
Are you tempted to grab the bottom scroll bar and move the artboard back into the center?
Before you do I’d like to point out another option.
Blend also has ‘the Hand”.
Click the Hand (or press the H key) and you can mouse drag anywhere on the artboard.
Now here is the tip.
You don’t have to actually have to select the hand in the toolbar or with the H key. The secret is to hold down the Spacebar and mouse drag. The benefit to this approach is that the Hand is only toggled on as long as you hold the spacebar. Once you release the spacebar Blend returns to the previously selected tool.
I also like the feature where you can double-click the Hand icon and the view is zoomed so you can see everything in your workspace.
[...] Quick Tip: Expression Blend – the Hand – Long story short: press the spacebar to use the hand tool without having to choose it from the toolbar [...]
Photoshop use the same spacebar shortcut. This way photoshop users (designers) are not lost when using blend…
Yes, photoshop uses the same shortcut. However many Blend users are not familiar with Adobe tools.
