Pressing a key should exit the WebView from pan scrolling mode. This matches what IE and Opera do. We currently exit the WebView on escape, matching Firefox, but this could be hard to discover for users who may have middle clicked on accident.

Any Key Press

What do other browsers that support pan scrolling do?
Comment 3 Brian Weinstein 2009-08-04 17:19:49 PDT 
IE, Opera -> Exit pan scrolling on any keypress.
Firefox -> Exit only on escape
Safari, Chrome -> Exit only on escape - for now.

From the radar (Steve): This is kind of nasty, since if a user accidently middle clicks on a webpage, they can't type until they left click or hit escape.

Do IE and Opera also both cancel the pan scroll on keydown (instead of keyup)?
Comment 5 Brian Weinstein 2009-08-04 17:25:48 PDT 
Yes, and Firefox cancels on escape down.
