Hello! 

I work a lot with programs like Maya and Photoshop. Both programs have a hotkey when held down you can easily zoom in and adjust size where you specify with your cursor. 

 

In Photoshop, if you holw down ALT and scroll with the wheel you can zoom into things easily. It is essential to work. I just got into animate because i intend to create some 2d animations. BUT i cannot find anywhere the zoom hotkey. There should be a key like in photoshop that if held down you can zoom with the wheel , no? 

 

It feels so awkward and time consuming to adjust the zoom ratio on top by typing 50% or 120% etc...  There must be a hotkey for this no? Z is for zooming, but its not good because you cant control the amount with the wheel. It just set to preset amount, it feels uncomfortable...

 

OMG i wish i could delete this post. Never mind, i fixed it lol. I resetted the program settings and what do you know, its CTRL + scroll lol what an idiot i am sorry guys
