Affin Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 The windows convention is: scroll vertical = scroll scroll horizontal = scroll + shift zoom = scroll + ctrl pan = scroll-hold + move (optionally hold space and move the mouse) Maintaining convention ensures easier (muscle memory) adoption and is consequent with other programs. Probably the most used application are browsers, align with them from the get-go: stick to conventions by default! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks @Affin - that's exactly how the applications already work. What are you experiencing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffH Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Affin and Joachim_ L If you have "Use mouse wheel to zoom" selected it changes the mouse scroll behavior from Windows std to what you have described. I always have it set this way because in years of using CAD software that was the usual way so that what I'm used to. It all come down to what you are used to really.

Affin Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Awesome, thank you. Now I wonder if this comes set like this out of the box? In my opinion this checkbox should not be checked by default, but perfect that it is available. I understand that the UX is personal, but the general load of mainstream applications use scroll to scroll vertical and either lack a zoom, or use ctrl+scroll to zoom (sometimes a combination of ctrl+/- of sorts). Browsers, text editors, spreadsheets, et cetera tend to stick to the scroll standard. Most users won't come from 3D/CAD applications and even if so, when combining (alt+tab) between various programs, the lack of convention will break your muscle memory rather quick. Everyone browses, everyone uses text based applications. Thank you again, you saved me tons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
