The problem:
Being able to zoom, especially in larger mind-maps is crucially important.
Currently the zooming is controlled by shortcut key combinations or UI
buttons - this is clumsy and awkward compared to this proposal...
Proposed feature:
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out and keep the middle mouse button as it
is for panning. This will improve usability greatly because you can just
use the mouse on it's own to navigate wherever you want within a mind-map.
The same system is used to great effect on (albeit a 3D program) Blender3D
(mouse wheel: zoom; MMB: Pan).
Using the mouse wheel as it currently is - for scrolling up/down is pretty
redundant considering this is a linear (1D) feature in a 2D program.
ALSO: I noticed also that the key bindings feature doesn't support binding
to mouse functions.
The above suggestion could either be inbuilt (preferred) or optional via
key binding association.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.0.3 on Ubuntu
Latest version on Windows 2000
Latest Version on Windows XP Pro
(should be applied to all versions)
Thank you for taking the time to read this. And thanks for an otherwise
great program :-)
