Yes, please, PLEASE fix this (make it configurable, preferably work the expected way by default).
Everything else I'm using on Mac has Command+Mouse wheel as zoom.
Disabling ⌘-rotate only helps to avoid doing the mistake all the time (resetting rotation is annoying with a four-key "shortcut"), essentially damage control.
And for some reason, "Use mouse wheel to zoom" does nothing, so it's impossible to make it work as expected.
For me, this is the main things that make Affinity feel clunky when you move over from other design tools, the opposite of the "yay, it just works as I expect it, no need to think" that has made tools like Sketch and Figma succeed. Otherwise _such a good tool_, but it always takes half the session to unlearn this expectation.
