Tupaia Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 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!!! kenmaclord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tupaia Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc(as) Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupaia Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SzilardUK Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited August 8, 2020 by szilarduk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmaclord Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 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 !!

Funkflow Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 It should always trigger zoom tool when CTRL + SPACE are both pressed and hold whether you press and hold CTRL first or Space first. This is bad UX if the developer doesn't have specific contradiction to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
