Couple UX nits from my first experimentation (though you may have already considered and have good reasons for current implementation!)

- normal scroll (instead of ctrl+scroll which is typically used for making text larger) for zooming in / out

- holding center mouse button to pan around (currently scrolls page instead)

On the web at least I am used to ctrl/cmd+scroll to zoom, shift+scroll for horizontal pan and scroll for vertical scroll.

Middle mouse drag should definitely pan.

I believe this is a matter of individual preference and I think providing users with options to change these mechanics would be great! I 100% agree that center mouse + move should pan. But I also prefer the current scroll and I would like Shift+Scroll to scroll horizontally (as it does on any other web page).

We found trackpad/mouse in the browser to be a bit of a headache. This stackoverflow thread talks about the problems.
