Please make the interactive Zoom Tool work with SPACE-CTRL AND CTRL-SPACE!

Hi!

Doing some linework, and in the past 2 hours stumbled countless times over the fact that Zoom likes to be invoked by  SPACE-CTRL, not vice versa!

That's just super super super annoying...

 

Thanks!!!

can I confirm this is an issue for you on Windows, like your other posts please.

Windows, yes.

Thanks!

Hello!

May I place a reminder here that it would be desirable to invoke Zoom not only with SPACE-CTRL, but also CTRL-SPACE?

Please, this is almost as easy a fix as it is easy to stumble over it.

Thanks!

So this faulty behavior was mentioned two years ago and still is not fixed? That's worse than Adobe :-)

When I want to zoom in or out I always press control first. Small finger is closer to the control key. Or I hit three keys at the same time, Ctrl, Alt, Space, to zoom out. But it never works, very annoying.

I other apps and situations you HAVE to press ctrl first, to avoid typing a space.

Hello!

Working with v1.8.0.555, and still stumbling over this...

Please consider a fix, or at least give a good argument why it should be exactly like the way it is.

Thank you!

I second this for both Mac and PC. Right now, if the cursor is active in a textbox, you cannot use the zoom tool quick shortcut, as you start typing spaces... Please make this program better than the alternatives.

With every update I hope this gets fixed, yet still nothing.

I was about to start a topic about this, but I find this thread.

So yes coming from Photoshop, it's VERY annoying to think about the order you have to press the keys. On Mac, to play with brush size and hardness, the CTRL+Option or reverse Option+CTRL works perfectly, so why not for interactive zoom? I miss the zoom 2/3rd of the time...

Pleeeease Affinity !!
