Spacebar + Touchpad panning like in AutoCAD

Hello,

I often need to do tweaks on drawings on my Linux laptop when on the road and a mouse is nowhere to be found. Is there a way to have something similar to AutoCAD's spacebar panning in DraftSigh?t

in short, you keep the spacebar depressed why moving the pointer with the touchpad, and instead of moving the pointer the entire model pans in the direction you're moving your fingers. Obviouosly not an exact feature, but something similar would be great too.
