Welcome the the Serif Affinity forums, @Cursed.

Yes, but what does the title mean? You can already zoom in and out today with the mouse wheel and the Ctrl key.

What aspect of that behavior do you want to change, and how do you want it to operate after the change?

I do not think it is possible. I'm curious, why do you want Alt rather than Ctrl?

By the way, there is a Preference setting, under Tools, that will reverse the behavior, and cause the mouse wheel to zoom without using Ctrl, rather than panning:

Then, if you press Ctrl is will pan instead of zooming.

Its an old habit from AI so I would like to keep it.

but it not a deal breaker so I guess ill just adapt.

Thanks.

I'm a Figma user, and Figma zooms with ⌘+scrollwheel. Whenever I switch from Figma to Affinity, I wind up rotating the page, and it's a pain to reset. I'd like to be able to match Figma's interaction.

Did this go anywhere? It's so frustrating that I do the exact same thing because every other program I use handles this as CMD/CTRL with mouse wheel. I would even be happy if it could be unlinked so I don't constantly rotate the interface. Being able to customize keyboard shortcuts like this seems like a pretty basic request.

Unmapping Alt+Wheel from canvas rotation is a good start, but it would be nice to be able to map those along with the other keyboard shortcuts—especially since these macros tend to fall under muscle memory.
