    Don’t know if I got it right.

    But there’s a way to zoom in and out easily.

    Desktop

    • Mac
      CMD + ScrollUp or ScrollDown

    • Windows
      CTRL + ScrollUp or ScrollDown

    Laptop

    Just use pinch gesture

      Thanks for pointing that out. It wasn’t about there being a way to zoom in / out but about this specific way to zoom in / out. There are currently at least a couple ways to zoom in / out but if there were a way to do the “scrub action” thing (specifically) to accomplish it I think it would a be and excellent feature (and probably simple enough to implement).

      The CMD+Scroll works, but the pinch gesture on my MacBook Pro’s trackpad isn’t working. Anyone else have this issue?

      I’d love to see a scrub zoom feature similar to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. With scrub zoom, users can select the zoom tool and then click-and-drag out to zoom closer or drag in to zoom farther away. This feature provides precise, quick control over zoom levels and would be a helpful addition to Figma, especially for designers familiar with Adobe tools. It would streamline the workflow and make navigating complex designs much faster.
