This is specific to non-touch input devices. Currently you can move around the viewport of a layout using middle mouse click-and-drag. Some people don't have a middle mouse button though. We also have the ability to move around using the arrow keys on a keyboard, but this isn't as smooth to use. Research alternative inputs. Look at what other apps/websites use to find what is the most common way to do this for users that do not have a middle mouse button.

When I can view all categories of things like track, tables, and baseplates, custom shapes are not an option. You can get to custom shapes when you make that choice from the menu, but "All" implies every single available option and that is not an available option

I would like to be able to copy/paste things within BrickLayouts

In my settings under User and Workspace, I have 'Snap to Grid' selected. When I move an object, it doesn't seem to stay aligned with the grid.

When you rotate your device, the grid is only drawn to what was shown before you rotated. See attached screenshot. I rotated my phone and the lines didn't continue to the edge of the screen until I panned the screen a tiny bit, and then everything fixed itself

As a mouse and keyboard user, I want to double click the name of a layer to bring up the ability to edit the name, because that is intuitive to me.

As a user, I want the text box to automatically have focus when I select to edit the name of a Layer, so that I can immediately start typing instead of needing an additional click/tap.

When you click a component/part, sometimes the code thinks you are starting to drag it instead of select it. Threshold for dragging should scale with zoom level, also it should take more mouse movement to start a drag when the part/component is connected to another one than if it is unattached.

If you visit https://app.bricklayouts.com/lgms you see a read-only published layout. BrickLayouts lets you change the order of the layers. It isn't saved anywhere, but you are allowed to do that locally. This shouldn't be possible

Allow editing of text and custom parts. After I create some text, I realized it was too big. There is no way to change the font size, only delete and recreate. Same thing for a custom baseplate or shape
