Disable Diagram Zoom

[10Things_Rob]

I may want to use it 0-5% of the time.

However, I want to scroll through cases in a structure 95% of the time.

Making the 5% use case the default (ctrl-scroll) was a bad design choice.

Reverse it before it's ingrained.

(ctrl-shift-scroll is frankly awkward and imagine will become painful eventually)

Ctrl+Scroll is an industry standard for zoom.  So, I do not fault NI for making this decision.

Having zoom operate with ctrl+shift+scroll would mirror the current ctrl+shift+click to pan behavior. So holding ctrl+shift would allow pan and zoom without needing to switch modifier keys. For that reason I like the idea of ctrl+shift+scroll (plus years of ctrl+scroll muscle memory for switching cases).

CTRL+b clears broken wires, except when text is selected. Then CTRL+b makes the text bold.

Why not have CTRL+mouse wheel zoom, except when the mouse is in a multi frame structure?

The BD would 'catch' the event, and if nothing handles the event, it's passed to the VI.

Like CTRL+b, CTRL+i, CTRL+u...

Or you can give us an option to edit these keyboard shortcuts in the options dialog.  We could choose to use CTRL-Scroll to zoom or swap cases in structures.

I agree, give us an ini key with which we can select what happens on Ctrl-Mousewheel.

If that is the case, Ctrl+LeftClick is the industry standard (esp in Windows) for multiselect; but why did/does NI provide Shift+LeftClick for multiselect?! 😀

FYI (don't know why this isn't public):

Editor.Zoom.BlockDiagram.MinFactor=2

Editor.Zoom.BlockDiagram.MaxFactor=1
Editor.Zoom.BlockDiagram.Enabled=False

To set the min, max zoom factor, or to disable zooming.

Disabling zooming does bring back scrolling through cases.

I can see advantage in a MaxFactor of 1. I always advocated for a zoom >=1, to prevent 5 screen wide monolithic VIs.

A min and a max allows for a more liberate scroll wheel action: the zooming is clipped, so you can scroll all you want and get the same zoom factor.

parthacg,

Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click are standards for selecting in many Microsoft applications, including Visual Studio and Visio.

[wiebe@CARYA]

Editor.Zoom.MouseWheelGestureRequireShift = True

Now we have the original gestures, and zoom gestures when shift is pressed.

Exactly what people been asking for..?
