In the behaviours thread people asked about scrolling around the village without a lot of click and drag (i.e. just using the mouse to push the window in the direction you want to go...)
I use this method especially when I'm "mushroom hunting" but it works anytime.
Pick up a kid (any villager will do, but you aren't interrupting work with a kid) and with the left mouse button clicked you can "push" the kid and the window in any direction you want to go.
