Zoom without ctrl

@Clara thats useful information thanks, its an interesting way to navigate around. I agree with the others though an option to avoid pressing control when zooming would make things easier. Would be great if there was some way to integrate this. Thanks

I use a Wacom tablet for design work in Figma, so I don’t find cmd+mouse scroll wheel to zoom very handy. Any UX considerations for Wacom users?
Besides when using the scroll wheel to zoom, often it will be too sensitive (viewport going out of control).
For tablet users I would suggest something similar to what they have in 3D programs, for example hold down Z key and drag up/down to zoom.
I do use the scroll wheel sometimes to scroll long designs, so I wouldn’t want the scroll wheel to default to zoom. So a user pref would be ideal.

Somebody make option for this!!

Shift + Z for change mouse pointer, after select area desire

Please add this!! At least make it a toggle.

FIGMA, pls listen. This is exactly what we want/need!

Please make this change. I don’t want to keep my hand on the keyboard while moving around the board.

I dont know if guys from figma ever used other programs, but all of them (adobe, autodesk, blender and basically every other) can use zoom without holding damn ctrl, its extremely annoying when I use figma and my primary navigation works just one button differently, I have been looking everywhere for some kind of get around but there is no other than you guys finally listening to what we need.

Hi Clara, please, you should add the option in preferences to change this navigation mode. With this behavior the keyboard is not needed for something as simple as navigation.
If you want to zoom you use the mouse wheel, if you want to pan vertically or horizontally, you use mouse wheel click. You must also zoom to the mouse position.
The key is that I can navigate with only one hand, in the other hand I have a cup of coffee. 🖱️😎☕
If I don’t get a response I will have to create a plugin for this preference, I don’t know if the API allows it, I never read it.

Yes please! It is a bit of friction in learning/adopting Figma.

I’d go a bit further to say there could be a lot more SETTINGS/CONFIG. Even with zoom and scroll, some applications provide settings to customize the SPEED or STEP SIZE…

Any Rhino 3D users on here? Rhino’s use of the RMB is magic, and should be emulated in other apps. Click RMB to accept (enter), cancel, retrieve last function, pan view (RMB+drag), and still open context menu!
