Zoom and scroll with the mouse wheel in the document


Recommended Posts

I always find myself wanting to both scroll and zoom my pages with my mouse wheel, so setting either of the options still leaves me wanting more. So I am proposing that you can do both based on the cursor position. So you should be able to zoom when you are rolling the mouse wheel within the page bounds/ bleed bounds (in the horizontal direction) and that you can scroll through pages when you are outside of the page bounds. In case there is any content outside the page and you were already scrolling, you'll continue scrolling and if you were not scrolling in the last x ms, then you'll zoom into this content if it is below the cursor.

Normally scroll, hold Ctrl to zoom works well for me.

My only problem with your idea is that, if you zoom in so the page fills the screen, there is no space left to scroll without zooming out again.

Is there a request for this in place? Normal is scrolling on the mouse wheel to allow zooming in and out design apps. I have disable the rotation on the mouse wheel.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

This topic is a request.

I'm not sure what the sentence I've highlighted means. Normal is scrolling ... to allow zooming?

On Windows, by the way, with Use Mouse Wheel to Zoom set off, I find that:

  • The mouse wheel scrolls up/down
  • Shift+mouse wheel scrolls right/left
  • Ctrl+mouse wheel zooms.

With Use Mouse Wheel to Zoom set on:

  • Mouse wheel zooms.
  • Ctrl+mouse wheel scrolls up/down
  • Ctrl+Shift+mouse wheel scrolls left/right
