Hello Affinity Designer community!

I have been searching through the already asked questions and I couldn't find my answer so I am posting it here. I am looking for a way to change, or better yet, delete a shortcut for the Rotate View feature. I am on a Mac and the shortcut is ⌘ + Scroll Wheel Up or Scroll Wheel Down (Command + ...) and I am assuming for Windows it's the Windows key. Because it's next to the Zoom shortcut (Option key + Scroll Wheel) I keep messing up my view and I would like to know if there is a way to remove that shortcut.

I have looked through the Shortcuts section in the Preferences tab but I couldn't find it. And in general, I couldn't find the shortcut that involve the scroll wheel. Could someone help me out please?

 

Thank you kindly,

Robert Reynik

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

You can disable the function in Preferences, Tools:

You cannot change the key combination, as far as I know.

On Macs, if you enable Preferences > Tools > Use mouse wheel to zoom, this will override the Enable canvas rotation with ⌘+scroll wheel setting so it won't matter if the latter is enabled or not -- the view will zoom with the scroll wheel whether or not the CMD key is held down.
