Zoom In Out

Post by tribeteknofolle »

Hi Eric,
I was thinking, you could replace the mouse command scrolling wheel, to scroll the page, to zoom in out based on the position of the pointer?

Yup :), zooming in/out is on my list for v2.0; see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=228&p=1813&hilit=zooming#p1752

Bump!

Ctrl+mousewheel (Windows) zoom in-out would be very useful when navigating, especially as I'm now switching between 4k screens on my desktop(43") and Laptop (17")

Ctrl+mousewheel zoom is a familiar operation when using a web browser (Firefox,Chrome)

Thanks. I did add some font-scaling functionality a while ago (Window > Window Layout > Increase/Decrease Font Size), but it isn't a true zoom because it doesn't scale the connectors.

I don't think it would be too difficult to add some additional scaling options.

:D :D :D

I'd be very happy with an interim measure of mapping the existing keyboard Ctrl+0/Ctrl+9 zoom to Ctrl+Mousewheel, pending fuller implementation of a zoom function that handles the spacing/connectors too.

A neat complementary feature would be using Ctrl+MousewheelClick to Auto Arrange All Modules - again a simple mapping of existing Ctrl+G functionality.

Full zoom control will be awesome, but in the meantime I sometimes use an Auto Arrange to fix the spacing after a Ctrl+0/Ctrl+9 zoom (although I accept that re-arranging is often undesirable).
