Pages that turn all the time ... Kinda Annoying!

[chrisiophe]

I really love the new 1.9 features, but one is a lot annoying...,  when you zoom and unzoom with the mouse wheel or pad on Apple mouse, you have to hold the Option button. But if you accidently press Command instead, the pages will turn. It happened about 5 times today. It's very annoying!  Apple mouse has a very sensible pad, so if i Command save and touch the mouse at the sane time, the pages will turn again. So please make this feature using something else than the Command button. A good idea would be to use 2 buttons at the same time.

Yes, I'm in the same boat; my biggest problem is, that it can't be changed (or can it?) 
In some App, command-mousewheel is zoom, in others its hand-tool-sort of movement. But its never rotation of the canvas and its waaay too prominent for that. 
On a tablet, this is a crucial move as it becomes prettyimportant to rotate the canvas, when you hold the device in your hand and draw with an apple pencil. But on a computer its mor like "OMG what just happened"

Still just dropped a 5* review on the app store for designer as its just such a wonderful thing and even little annoyances like this ain't change anything about that. But @serif please just let us deactivate this functionallity somehow, it really feels like a slap everytime my whole workspace rotates around. I understand it might be a question of geting used to, but I'm working with too many things parallel and theres just a big difference in accidentally moving the workspace on a x/y axis (hand-tool-ish) and rotating it.

Theres one thing where I slightly disagree with @chrisiophe : mapping it on 2 mousebuttons would'nt work with the Apple Mouse which might be a "Meh!" for many users, but still I believe the audience of Affinity Mac-users using this device might be big enough to not exclude them. Buuuut there might be nough other ways to handle this.

I don't know if there is a similar preference (Tools) on Mac, but on Windows there is a checkbox for "Enable canvas rotation with Alt+scroll wheel.

Joachim is right. If you are on a Mac just go to Preferences -> Tools and uncheck 'enable canvas rotation with cmd+scroll'.

Oooooh my new two favorite users, come here for a covid-safe-virtual-hug; 
 

getting rid of this feels like another great feature of 1.9;
@Serif: this feature is also weird, as I like to zoom to the cursor with command-Space and I guess it's understood how easy you would accidentally rotate the canvas a bit, everytime you'll do that. so iiii don't know, even if you can uncheck it, I just wouldn't have it checked by default and let users check it if they need

[chrisiophe]

I can uncheck this in the preferences panel.

Thank you
