Ok.

I tried in above. What is unclear yet? What do you need?

RMB  - right mouse button

The problem is, that you may not move the mouse at all, when you do a right
click, because this is interpreteted as a drag selection then instead of a
command to move/shift the map. If drag selection took place only if you move the
mouse lets say 1 tile (or 2/3 of a tile) I think the problem will go away.
