Graph view lacks a way of zooming the time horizontally

[pgilfernandez]

The only way of zooming is the "fit vertical" but:

In the "keyframes timeline" you can do:

• middle mouse button: pan left/right
• ctrl/command + mouse scroll: zoom in/out

In the "graph timeline" you can do:

• middle mouse button: pan left/right/up/down
• ctrl/command + mouse scroll: zoom in/out VERTICALLY (center of zoom in the middle of your window)
• ctrl/command + alt + mouse scroll: zoom in/out VERTICALLY (center of zoom in the mouse pointer position)
• ...

Maybe I'm missing something but there is not an option to zoom in/out HORIZONTALLY while in the "graph timeline"

I would say that the UX way would be to set "ctrl/command + shift + mouse scroll"... but I don't know, maybe it's not the best way. What I really mean is that this feature is missing and it would be useful.

Thanks!

This is a duplicate of #160

Will look into this later today.

So, just add ctrl+wheel to zoom? like this:

ah yes this seems to fix issue thanks .

also noticed that Alt+scrolling is behiwing strangely seemst o always scroll down . doies not seems like very suful feature to me . if iw tould scroll letf to right that seeesm to be more useful but this should be probably new issue.

simular problem shift+alt will always zoomout. agan felles glichy and not very useful i would rather just ignore alt in this scenario if there is no useful feature.

contrl+shif scrolling should zoom in anod out in both axies currently one is always ignored

Then don't use it ;) The timeline/graph does not use the Alt modifier for anything.

But Qt does(?): https://forum.qt.io/topic/120028/wheel-event-direction-changing-when-pressing-alt-key

ctrl+shift does nothing in the code, you either use ctrl or shift. What do you mean by both axies?

i am very used to tring all modifiers since every app . Its not best us if if modifier does nothing useless other then defoult behavior :D .

for ctrl+shift it is more of feature request

I'm imagaging something like scaling in time + in values ate the same time

Looking at the code we do not use the Alt modifier in the timeline/graph, since we don't capture that event it just gets propagated up the chain in Qt and something default is used I assume. We should probably capture Alt events and ignore them if we don't use them, that way "odd" behavior does not happen.

for ctrl+shift it is more of feature request

Ok will look into that.

Will reopen this issue, else it will be forgotten ;)

[adambelis]

or i can open new issue so its less messy ?

[rodlie]

Sure, that also works.
