Hi MEB, Thank you for the info. That's better than nothing. But it will still be nice to have the tool revert back if holding the zoom key down and releasing avoiding having to press the button a second time. Just to give an example - One of the CreativeLive presenters talked about the importance of keyboard shortcuts and gave a quick example. He made an edit in Premiere and added it to the timeline using: A) mouse with drag and drop + clicking icons or menu items vs b) keyboard shortcuts. Result? The keyboard shortcut took about 2-3 seconds and option A) took about 5-6 seconds. He said, repeat that over the course of an 8 hour day and its a HUGE difference in workflow speed. So it would just be nice to have the feature of holding Z and when releasing reverting back. Thank you again for the info in the meantime.

In Affinity Photo 1.5 when you select the Zoom Tool - say using the keyboard shortcut "Z" and use your mouse/wacom pen to zoom in/out you must reselect the previous tool in use rather than it reverting back to your previous tool like in photoshop. Example. You are using the brush tool and need to zoom in quickly, so you hit the z key and scroll in (to zoom in) when you release the "Z" key the zoom tool stays selected rather than returning to your brush tool.
