Implemantion of navigation/scrolling via arrow keys
I know, the question comes up from time to time and I'm aware about the navigation via scroll wheel.
But I just wonder, if it wouldn't be useful in sense of usability to have the possibility to move up/down and left/right with the arrow keys when nothing is selected (inside "Scribus" it's possible such a feature).
Not sure, if there's a similar feature request inside the issue tracker.

There is a feature request from long ago. #12074: Add support for scroll bars in ScoreView
I wish it would be implemented.
FWIW, scrollbars and cursor key navigation are two different animals. We already support page up/down etc. Adding support for left/right/up/down as well would actually not be particularly difficult. Adding support for scroll bars is a much bigger change, I believe.

To clarify my concern, for my habituation in daily use with MuseScore it would be faster to navigate inside a single page or inside the continuous view i(f I've a plenty of staffs), to navigate with the keyboard instead of switching therefore between keyboard and mouse wheel/touch pad.
I don't think a visible scroll bar wouldn't be necessary therefore first of all (but could be an additional/although not necessary feature).

And to be clear, page up/.down already does this, but only horizontally when in continuous view. Missing is a keyboard-controllable way to scroll vertically. As mentioned, should actually be pretty simple. Kind of surprised it hasn't been suggested more and implemented already...

Thanks Marc, mike320 (and other too); it's really always a honor to discuss inside this forum.

I and many other people would rather see the scroll bars no matter what excuses are made for not having any.
