I am considering a move from Photoshop and Illustrator to Photo-Paint and CorelDraw. My biggest hurdle is that I use the spacebar for panning around a document and CTRL-Spacebar for zooming.
Can the Corel products be set up to use the spacebar for a pan hand?
Thanks,

I use CorelDRAW and Adobe Photoshop at work and at home... They work "ok" together, and if you don't mind working with mostly eps files, they work great together....I love the space bar panning in PS...but in CorelDRAW it is very handy to swap tools with the space.
Don't be afraid to continue using Photoshop....but CorelDRAW is 10 times a better program than Illustrator.
My personal opinion....Photo-Paint should have taken some pointers from Photoshop....can't beat PS
I totally agree... the spacebar for panning is handy, but the spacebar to swap tools is also very good.
Like already was suggested above, I have the pan one shot hooked up to s, and I have A and D for zoom in/out... it's quick and doesn't prevent anything else important. I have V for select (just like AI and PS), E for eraser, etc. It works pretty well and doesn't mess up my brain too much, but I've been doing it this way for longer than I've been using PS.
What I loooove in PS is the hold down Z and zoom. That is amazing.... instead of zoom in/out which jumps too much...
**** ... not to mention that there's a very annoying bug when you pan and then zoom in/out that doesn't zoom to the mouse position in Draw... I noted it in another thread.
PP is really good except for the crashing which may be gone after sp3... but you can't even set shortcuts to smudge! Maybe they fixed this in sp3, but it's not listed in the sp3 updates.
