I have a TiddlyMap page for users to explore; it's a large map with different node sizes and it's useful for users to pan left/right/up/down and zoom in/out to see more details.  However, one part makes it hard to use: if they try to pan left/right/up/down to move their view screen area but their mouse is on a node then the node moves its position instead.  I would like to give users a mode where they cannot move the position of any nodes, and if they click and move left/right/up/down with the mouse then the viewport will move.  Is there a way to do that?

I considered exporting as a graphic and that is good for exploring the map, but then they don't have the sidebar with additional details when they double-click on a node.

I saw the "read-only" thread, but that was simply for hiding edit buttons... both the "live view" and "live tab" still let them move the node positions.  https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywiki/qPCVn_t82Lw/discussion

Thanks for any suggestions.

Bump. An "view" mode would be very useful. Or even a way to lock all nodes positions, and then edit some of them selectively when you need to.
