[PR#3797] A fix for gigantic touchpad zoom sensitivity is in the works

Post by DeepSOIC »

Just so that everyone knows. I have fixed gigantic zoom sensitivity speed triggered by two-finger drag on a touchpad, but only for one navigation style. The rest will follow shortly, and then a PR. This should fix the need to set zoom factor to 0.02 on macbooks.

whoa....thank you. I tought it was my touchpad fault for needing to do that all the time(Huawei Matebook D). Also, when using touchpad navigation, the zoom is choppy(also depends on the model complexity) while zooming with CTRL+SHIFT is smooth as butter so it must be related to the input method.

Also can you please take a look at this issue as it might be related in some way? https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=48255

Thank you so much.

I just installed

OS: macOS 10.16
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.20909 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.19.alpha2)
Hash: 8be2c08141f0275e9da005bd143771953e982a59
Python version: 3.8.2
Qt version: 5.12.5
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.4.0
Locale: German/Germany (de_DE)

and now experience enormous sensitivity to 2-finger zoom swipe. Just before I had some elder build (due to Big Sur it was some 8000 commits behind :-/) and that behaved very smoothly. Could that be adjusted somehow?

Newer versions probably don't show this (anymore). I used to have set Preferences->Display->Navigation->ZoomStep to 0.02.

Great! That's still present. I went from the default 0.2 to 0.05 which was much more pleasing. Will tune a bit more :-)

P.S. 0.03 looks like being the best for me.
