Hi, I was just taking a look at the HIG3, and found something which disturbed me in the zooming document: http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/HIG3/Zooming Specifically, the section: "To zoom in or out of the image using the mouse, move the mouse pointer to the area of the image on which you wish to zoom. Then: * Move the scrollwheel upwards to zoom in * Rotate the scrollwheel downwards to zoom out" This may be a common idiom in (arguably broken) image viewers, but it presents an inconsistent user interface for those with the increasingly common kind of touch-pad which has built in horizontal as well as vertical scrolling. Call me nuts for thinking that the "scroll" wheel on the mouse should by default "scroll" your document, not zoom it. For most of the applications I use in gnome, "Ctrl + Scroll-wheel" is the standard short-cut for zooming with the mouse, with "Shift + Scroll-wheel" used to emulate a horizontal scroll for input devices without such hardware. Just to note.. gimp uses the bindings I describe, with unmodified scroll -> vertical scroll shift + scroll -> horizontal scroll ctrl + scroll -> zoom Regards, -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
