Zoom without ctrl

On PC i want to explore figma document with only mouse, but i can’t zoom in/out without keyboard - I have to hold down the Ctrl with the other hand. On a Mac, there is no problem: gestures on the touchpad make zooming convenient.

At the moment we can scroll through a document by dragging it with the left mouse button or by scrolling horizontally, but to scroll horizontally (which is also often used as vertical scrolling) you have to hold down Shift, which is rather illogical for a map-like interface.

Can you add a switch like the existing “Invert Zoom Direction”? That would solve my problem.

This feature was already requested in 2017: https://spectrum.chat/figma/feature-requests/zoom-with-mouse-wheel~04d1784d-827c-4363-9404-ffddc91bcfef

Thanks

I think this feature is coming soon. I have this option in my other account

Works as described:
Use scroll wheel to zoom
Right-click and drag to pan

Just came here to ask for the same thing, because scrolling a board up and down doesn’t make much sense to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

But it looks like it might coming soon based on the post above me?

My only nitpick with the new option is that when the “use scroll wheel zoom” option is selected, we should be able to use alt+scroll to pan vertically. Otherwise, I’m happy with the new options.
