Keyboard control for holding a wire route to do screen panning

Some of the computers that I'm using has a lower monitor resolution and wiring across a very large code is quite a pain. I hope LabVIEW can add a "Hold wire route" feature by using a keyboard control like "Shift Hold" so that I can move the scroll bars (or do mouse scroll) to pan the block diagram without losing the wire route.

 

My proposal would be if the wire tool is used and holding the Shift key, the previous wire route will be freeze and the cursor will go back to a pointer tool which will be used to move the scroll bars or do mouse scroll. Then after releasing the Shift key, the wire route will continue from the previous wire route to the current position of the mouse cursor. In this way, wiring a code that is across the screen size will be faster compared to placing the wire route/tool at the edge of the block diagram window and wait for the scroll bar to pan by itself slowly.
