CTRL-0 Not working


Recommended Posts

my shortcut key for Zoom to width (ctrl-0) does nothing.

Unless you've changed the shortcuts, Ctrl-0 is not "Zoom to width", but rather "Zoom to fit". The default "Zoom to width" shortcut on Windows is Alt-Shift-0.

In addition to the advice above, you can see which keyboard shortcuts are set for the various Zoom functions by looking in the “View → Zoom” menu, or in “Edit → Settings / Shortcuts”, switching the UI Element drop-down (under the Persona drop-down) to “View” and scrolling down the list.

Ctrl-0,1,2,3 etc., have no effect.

Do they work from the menu, and can you provide a screenshot of the View > Zoom menu?

What object or Dialog has the focus when you try Ctrl+0, etc?

It doesn't matter. I could be a particular object on an artboard, or nothing selected at all. I may have figured it out, though. Somehow CTRL= was set to zoom in. I don't think that's the default, but in any event, I've changed it to CTRL+ which zooms in, and when I press CTRL0 it zooms back out...

Interestingly, in, for example, Designer 2.3.0 (and 1.10.6) on Windows, the keyboard shortcut for “Zoom In” is listed in the Help as being “Ctrl and +” whereas the default is actually “Ctrl and =”.

Is “Ctrl and +” actually meaningful since “+” is (on my keyboard at least) obtained via Shift (over “=”)?
Or, to put it another way, would "Ctrl and +" actually mean "Ctrl and Shift and ="?

Either way, “Ctrl and =” zooms in on my machine.

On my PC, Zoom In shortcuts are:

  • Mouse Scroll Wheel
  • Ctl +
  • Ctl =
  • Ctl + Spacebar + Dragging
  • Ctl + 1 or 2 or 3....

Take your pick, mix and match to whatever works for you. I will say I like how Serif set this up in their apps. Some other apps, we have maybe one or two ways to do this, and the developers decide, and don't provide us with much of a way to modify. ;)
