When you hold down the left or right mouse button and move the mouse over the map, the map will be panned. I want to disable the right mouse button in this regard, so that you can only pan the map while holding the left mouse button.

I have looked for this setting, but have not found it. Does it exist?

I found a different post [here](https://community.thinkgeo.com/t/mouse-right-button-pressed-and-mouse-move/2727/2) saying that I can write my own ExtentInteractiveOverlay and apply it as the maps ExtentOverlay - is that a good idea?

Thanks  
Jonas
