MoonaticDestiny Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 If you have a mouse and you scroll up and down, you can pan up and down on your canvas. If you hit down on "alt" while scrolling up and down, you can zoom in and out of your canvas. My question is, how do I set it so that I can make scrolling be zooming in/out instead of it panning my canvas? I want to switch the commands. I want scroll to zoom, and I want alt+scroll to pan. Where do I go in affinity designer to switch these commands? Again, I want scroll to zoom and "alt+scroll" to pan. Thank you.

To choose scrolling as wheel standard behavior in Affinity go Preferences > Tools > "Use mouse wheel to zoom". On a Mac in this setting the modifier keys are disabled and the wanted behavior is not possible yet (but the other way round does work). The issue is logged as a bug.

MoonaticDestiny Posted November 28, 2021 Author Posted November 28, 2021 @thomasoAwww thats a shame because I'm on a Mac. Sigh. Oh well. I guess I'll wait and stick to alt+scroll. Thank you.

MoonaticDestiny Posted November 28, 2021 Author Posted November 28, 2021 @thomasoHey! I actually found it! 😀 Go to preferences>tools> and then check the box that reads "use mouse wheel to zoom" Now I can zoom when I scroll and I'm on a mac. This is awesome. Thank you again.
