    Hi Everyone,

    We have added a preference to enable ‘Zoom with Mouse Wheel’. Go to Preferences→ General→ Enable ‘Zoom with Mouse Wheel’.

    Also, now you can pan the doucment using the middle click of the mouse.

    Both of these functionality are available since January 2021 release (version 25.1) onwards.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback

    Although I love the updates in Illustrator 2019, it would be really nice to get this functionality as an option like in photoshop or have MMB work like it does in AE.

    Just in case anyone wanted the AHK script for MMB panning alone,

    #SingleInstance ignore
    #IfWinActive ahk_exe Illustrator.exe
    {
    ;Middle Mouse Button activates hand tool dragging.
    MButton::
    Send, {Space down}{LButton down}
    KeyWait, MButton
    Send, {LButton up}{Space up}
    Return
    }
