SCROLL WHEEL ZOOMS INSTEAD OF SCROLLING CODE

Hopefully I return with all my fingers and toes. Considering it's been -30 F here for the last couple of days it should be pretty exciting. I get to trek out into the middle of nowhere to learn about extreme cold weather survival. What do you think? I'm a programmer so I don't always have the best UI ideas.īut I am going to be out of contact for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow so I won't be able to work on it until I get back. The scene does zoom a rather large amount for a small amount of mouse wheel movement. What about a button on the menu bar that toggles between a scene translate mode (left click drags the scene/mouse wheel zooms/hand cursor) and a selection mode (left click selects objects/mouse wheel scrolls/normal arrow cursor)? How about we figure out a good compromise? I guess it comes down to personal preference. I don't know, I would much rather be able to zoom with the mouse wheel rather than scroll.

But, if the code is already written, then it would be nice to have it used in the time honoured way.īTW - I just tried the middle click thing on the latest 0.7.3 debugging version and I couldn't get the page to move up/down or left/right - the scroll wheel is the way to go! I think you'll find a lot of people will have special functions assigned to left+right click as well - by default =middle click for most PCs I think. The only reason I haven't suggested this before is because I see it as a cosmetic feature, and there are more important issues at the moment. Hold down SHIFT (configurable?) and scroll - zoom in/out - as per the current implementation I eventually got back to normal after typing a number of keys randomly. Typing the Escape key pulled up the Start menu. Alt+Tab no longer worked, for example, and various keys produced odd results. Various other functions were also different.

Scroll left/right - moves the left/right, just like it would in a word processing document Suddenly, my mouse wheel began changing the text size in Mozilla instead of scrolling up and down a page. Scroll up/down - moves the page up down, just like it would in a word processing document Sorry Jeremy, but I don't see the middle-click or right/left click thing being much use I find that I often zoom the scene in or out of existence when I accidentally move the scroll (VERY easy to do with the magic mouse) I think it is more intuitive to have the scroll wheel actually SCROLL the page move up/down than zoom in/out (and if you mouse supports left/right, like the Apple magic mouse, then scrolling left/right should, you know, scroll left/right)Ģ. I'm with cyberang3l - this is something I'd dearly love for two reasons:ġ.
