Command Options interface

Postby cabarete_cub » Tue Aug 27, 2013 4:32 am

Hi again,

I would like very much to have "Zoom In"/"Zoom Out" icons that appear in the
Command Options toolbar to be available at one click all the time,
so in order to do a fast zoom in/out I don't need to switch a tool.

Thanks in advance.

Oops, it is called Tool Controls toolbar, not Command Options toolbar. Sorry.

Hi

Use the "plus" and "minus" keys on your numerical part of your keyboard.

Unfortunately it is not always an option for me, as my left hand is busy
sometimes with holding a wacom pad (it is a Bamboo with four buttons,
I haven't figured if it is possible to assign Zoom In/Out functionality
to two of them. Still would prefer to have on-screen controls anyway)

If you have a scroll wheel, you can zoom in by hovering the cursor over the zoom level indicator and scroll up.
An even faster way, is to scroll up when you hold down the Ctrl key and hower the cursor over the drawing area.

No, Bamboo doesn't have a wheel. And I can't use Ctrl key for the same reason I can't use plus and minus.
I configured the keys on the pad though. There's also a dropdown in the lower right corner, but the increment
is too small and I haven't figured yet if it can be adjusted.
