Alex_M Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Currently to toggle zoom you need to press SPACEBAR+CTRL in exactly this order. However, sometimes I press CTRL before SPACEBAR and I end up accidentally painting over my document instead of zooming. It would be immensely helpful if we could toggle zoom irrespective of the order we press the CTRL and SPACEBAR keys.

Tupaia Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yep! Requested this, too, a long while ago. No idea what's so tricky to change this. AndyQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlb6907 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 +1 for me. I can't use buttons and shortcuts on my wacom tablet : CTRL+SPACEBAR is possible, but SPACEBAR+CTRL is not possible. It's very annoying. Please Serif, change it quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyQ Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Yep...I just can't get in the habit of hitting "Spacebar" first, the idea of a modifier key (CTRL/ALT/SHIFT) is to modify the function of another key, not the other way around. I can't think of another application that would do it this way (for obvious reasons, you don't want to "type a character", you want to "perform a shortcut function"). I think this is another example of a general "backwardness" in Affinity apps - e.g. showing "after/before" previews (not before/after left to right), gamma values slider getting darker to the right and so on. I'm sure there are more examples but I forget. I find it hard to imagine this idea being floated at any UI design meeting and not getting slammed immediately, which suggests a lot of these design decisions are a single coder working late shifts to avoid human contact....

Intuos5 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 +1 Other painting apps allow you to start with Ctrl, so it's quite difficult to adapt to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
