Autoscroll in nodes graphs while dragging links
When working on large node graphs, it can be tedious to link together distant nodes.
The user has to zoom back, and then try to click properly on tiny dots to link nodes. This could be simplified by not having to zoom out, and get the view to auto scroll while the user is dragging a link near the edges of the view area.
Another solution would be to allow arrow keys to be used while dragging a link, to move step by step in the view in the four directions.
This idea was marked as a duplicate of Drag noodle in node editor should pan at edges, feature request..

I believe someone is working on this feature, seen it couple days ago on Twitter if I remember correctly.

This is implemented in 3.0 alpha: a1cc7042a745: Edge-scrolling for node editor Though that version uses the mouse at the edge instead of arrow keys, it's basically the same thing.
