I'm not sure what you mean with scrolling. To zoom in and out you use the mousewheel, like in the regular game. To move the map around use the WASD keys, the same keys that move your player character in the regular game.

The map editor has a few extra keys which can be viewed and changed in Options --> Controls --> Editor.
The wiki has a page with basic instructions: https://wiki.factorio.com/Map_editor
There's also this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erpogTSybn0
