Hi guys, LOVING the whiteboard so much since you’ve added commenting feature! Please allow mouse wheel zoom instead of mouse wheel scroll up-down default or clicking ctrl + mw. It seems more natural on an open canvas to zoom in and out, instead of having an up-down bias. My prediction is that th…

[image] Hendrik: It’s not possible to pan with the scroll wheel and so panning does not compete with the scroll wheel at all. That’s weird. For me, rolling the mouse wheel causes the whiteboard to scroll vertically. And with my particular mouse, I can ‘rock’ the mouse wheel left and right to…

[image] Chr1sG: Is ‘panning’ something different to ‘scrolling’ (with more granularity) as far as you’re concerned? Perhaps we are using language differently? Yes. Apologies, I realised that as soon as I put down the phone. I have the same behaviour as you are describing. I think panning i…

Gotcha. Yeah, when I wrote this [image] Chr1sG: At the moment, zooming requires Ctrl, and panning requires no-key. it would have been more correct to write [image] Chr1sG: At the moment, zooming requires Ctrl, and scrolling requires no-key. Anyway, I think it’s unlikely that we will…

Throw us a line and give us a choice then? (I have gathered a mob) [image] Fibery vs Miro: can we get some whiteboard dev love? Also, allowing scroll-wheel to default to zoom rather than vertical pan would bring it in line with Miro’s more intuitive controls. [image] Fibery vs Miro: can we…

Miro is trying to identify the device used for interactions on the whiteboard, we’ll do something similar, but not right now. [Screenshot 2025-06-18 at 18.10.01]

Hi @alex Not to conflate issues, I am just talking about the scroll-zoom function in the browser. But thank you. Looking forward to having this option. Best, Hendrik

It boggles my mind that anyone would prefer vertical scroll as the primary interaction with the whiteboard via mouse wheel. The vast majority of mice don’t have side-to-side motion on the wheel, so in most mouse configurations/capabilities it means you can only move in 1 axis using the wheel. Surely…

[image] Oshyan: It boggles my mind that anyone would prefer vertical scroll as the primary interaction with the whiteboard via mouse wheel. I think it depends on what background you have. A lot of the sw tools I use have scroll as default and zoom requiring a key modifier, so I prefer it this…

[image] Chr1sG: A lot of the sw tools I use have scroll as default and zoom requiring a key modifier Sure, same for me. It’s just that single-axis movement is nonsensical in a whiteboard context (to me). It’s the same thing as being on a regular web page, where scrolling up/down is natural an…

[image] Oshyan: Surely your expectations of input interactions depend on the context/needs of the app, right? Like if you ever use 3D software I wouldn’t imagine you’d expect the mouse wheel to, I dunno, move the view up and down only, right? And do you end up building your whiteboards in a more…
