Is there any shortcut to zoom in or out?

[biju]

Hello guys! You know that in PS we are using Ctrl / Alt + Space bur to control Zoom in or out. Do you've any keyboard shortcut there in Affinity to control Zoom tool? 

 

Thanks in advance.

In the Mac Affinity apps you can use CMD + spacebar to zoom in & out with the mouse pointer but you have to press the spacebar first for this to work.

 

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel you can set it to zoom the display in Preferences > Tools. This is really useful because with this enabled you can zoom at the same time you do other things with the mouse pointer.

On my Mac El cap MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 15 in.  OS X 10.11.6, One button mouse I can zoom with the mouse if I hit alt/option and scroll.

I no longer use the Magic mouse, too unreliable too many batteries. They no longer sell Magic mouse charger etc. I switched to a Kensington wired mouse. and now use the pref: >Tools> use scroll wheel for zoom( don't know what scrubby zoom even means but left it checked.). Works great.

Looks like in your video you're pressing Space+Option/alt (or Space+control).... instead of CMD.

Hi aerials,

Thanks for your report. This is already logged to be looked at.

Looks like in your video you're pressing Space+Option/alt (or Space+control).... instead of CMD.

 

 

AND (if that's the case)... it only seems to happen if you press Option (or Control) before the Spacebar  :) .

(of course CMD before Space will call up Spotlight)

Unless you have deactivated that shortcut, which most photoshop users have done.

As I understand it, supposedly they had to design it this way to avoid an OS X system level response from the opposite sequence or simultaneous press of both keys.

 

Like Fixx says, you can disable the system level Spotlight keyboard shortcut but I guess they decided some users would find this undesirable since it is global & would affect every app. If there were menu commands in Affinity for zooming in & out, I think it might be possible to use the App Shortcuts section of System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts to override the global Spotlight shortcut only for Affinity, but there isn't so that is moot.

Hi Juanma,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

We already have this issue/bug logged but it wasn't fixed yet, sorry.

Still getting a system 'bonk' noise when I hit spacebar - command on my Mac. Any further info on this bug..?

Are you holding down the spacebar first & then while continuing to hold that key down press & hold the Command key as well?

Same here, which means: it works. It's just a little bit counterintuitive as to how I'm used to work in Illustrator.
