[FR] Update Move Commands to Shift Camera/View Instead of Document #1201

Closed NightMachinery closed 3 weeks ago

NightMachinery commented 3 weeks ago

Currently, movement commands like move_left shift the document to the right, giving the impression that the camera (or user’s viewpoint) is moving left. However, when the document is zoomed out, this behavior becomes inconsistent, as moving the document to the right visually shifts it to the right as well, resulting in unintuitive navigation. The request is to make movement commands adjust the camera or view, ensuring consistent and intuitive behavior across different zoom levels.

Are you proposing that we reverse the commands when the documents is zoomed out? That seems a lot less intuitive.

@ahrm I guess you're right, I don't know what would be best. Closing this for now ...

But this always trips me up when I want to scroll a zoomed out document. :D
