How to pan the view?

Question

How to pan the view in Blender?

Suppose neither Shift or ShiftAltLMB do not work. What is the reason for this?

Do other navigation controls (zoom, orbit) work in the 3D View? — Fweeb, Jun 23 '14 at 19:04
It is nearly impossible to find out which of the many possible problems that could be causing this without a .blend. — GiantCowFilms, Jun 23 '14 at 23:25
try reseting your preferences on FIle->Load_Factory_Settings. — , Jun 24 '14 at 01:50
For MacBook users, seems holding shift with 2 fingers on the trackpad pans. — Dan2552, Jun 28 '17 at 19:46
I was also having this issue while editing a curve. It seems that you must be in object mode to pan. — linuxdan, May 21 '18 at 00:44

Unless you have changed your mouse settings, you use the middle mouse button to move in the 3D view, not LMB. Middle mouse to orbit, shift -> middle mouse to pan, and ctrl -> middle mouse to zoom.

There was some confusion when editing the question.. The original says MMB wasn't working. – gandalf3 Jun 24 '14 at 20:14

I use CtrlNumPad 4 and CtrlNumPad 6 (arrows) in the number pad to pan left and right.

Use CtrlNumPad 2 and CtrlNumPad 8 (arrows) in the number pad to pan up and down.

If number pad is not present, Navigate to File -> User Preferences -> Input -> Emulate Numpad.
