Pan map with mouse wheel click instead of left click

The default behavior of panning the map is via left click + drag I would like to change that behavior to be with wheel click + drag. Is this possible?

That's handled by the ScreenSpaceCameraController, and is configurable. For example:

const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer");

// for 3D mode
viewer.scene.screenSpaceCameraController.rotateEventTypes = Cesium.CameraEventType.MIDDLE_DRAG;

// for 2D mode
viewer.scene.screenSpaceCameraController.translateEventTypes = Cesium.CameraEventType.MIDDLE_DRAG;

// remove MIDDLE_DRAG from the top of the tiltEventTypes.
viewer.scene.screenSpaceCameraController.tiltEventTypes.shift();

That last command above uses Array.shift to remove the first element of the tiltEventTypes array. The default value of this array (for many versions of Cesium) is shown here:

this.tiltEventTypes = [
    CameraEventType.MIDDLE_DRAG,
    CameraEventType.PINCH,
    {
      eventType: CameraEventType.LEFT_DRAG,
      modifier: KeyboardEventModifier.CTRL,
    },
    {
      eventType: CameraEventType.RIGHT_DRAG,
      modifier: KeyboardEventModifier.CTRL,
    },
  ];

This is showing us that one can still issue "tilt" events even after shifting away the MIDDLE_DRAG entry. We can CTRL-left-drag, for example, to get the same action.
