As a MacOS user with a Logitech Ergo mouse, I haven't figured out how to navigate at all, and have to get my external trackpad out just to move around. If anyone knows how to move around Figma with a scroll wheel, please tell me, seriously. I would be glad to be wrong. That said, the touchpad experience is at least intuitive.

I have the same mouse and it works fine:

1. Hold the cmd key on your keyboard while spinning the scroll wheel to zoom in and out

2. Click and hold the scroll wheel and move the mouse around to pan

Thank you! I will try this. I think I had the pan down, but would have liked shift+scroll for sideways and it wasn't doing that.

Holding the space bar and just moving your mouse works best for me

I use this hack to turn mouse movements into scroll movements with Hammerspoon. It's one of the first things I need on a fresh install of MacOS.

https://github.com/reinier/dotfiles/blob/main/hammerspoon/er...

It let's you hold down the right click key and use your mouse to scroll any x/y direction.

Original source for this hack is offline, but Internet Archive to the rescue: https://web.archive.org/web/20200808000102/https://savouryti...

BTW I use Figma all the time, I have never any issues scrolling with this hack.

I am a big Hammerspoon fan, and I will definitely try this today! Thank you so much!
