Is it gonna zoom? Is it gonna pan?


Jershaun

Question

I like the boomerang tool especially the option of pressing the control button with the space bar to get the Zoom tool and similarly the alt button. This makes moving around the drawing very easy and similar to some graphics programs.

However these buttons have to be pressed in the order of SPACE first, then either CONTROL or ALT. This is NOT similar to other graphics programs. It also becomes irritating to press control and space expecting the zoom tool but one gets the pan tool. One has to then release the control key and then repress it again.

Therefore my wish would be to press any button first (Control+Space or Space+Control) to get the zoom tool.

Thanks.

The zoom function while in boomerang is built in with the boomerang mode. You have to first execute the boomerang mode to get the zoom to work while in boomerang mode.

THis is why you need to key the space bar first, then the other key.

Other keyboard shortcuts have a similar step function. If the keyboard shortcut is control+3, then you cannot hit 3 first then control. THis is because there is another tool that is using 3. Pressing that key will enable that tool instead of smart thinking ahead. Smart thinking ahead may sound like a good idea, but it would delay the time you can select a tool because of a window of time needed to wait and see if you are going to press another key combo or if you are done.

If the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+X, you can hit control or alternate first then the other then X. Those two are interchangable.
