Suggestion: Zoom Hotkeys

I've been running my campaigns here for a few weeks now, and I must say I'm impressed with the program.  I have one suggestion: shortcut keys that adjust the zoom, probably something like Control plus number keys.  I tend to use maps of various sizes in my games, and with the larger maps I often need to change the zoom frequently, so a quick way to do so would come in very handy.

Alt+mousewheel changes it quickly although the new zoom value is not represented in the toolbar.  - Gauss
However when using a track pad on a laptop that doesn't work.  (or at least on my laptop).  Hotkeys would be great.

Chris, my comments are intended to help users use the tools available. They are not (usually) comments on suggestions. :) (Also, moved to suggestions forum).  - Gauss
I figured there had to be something already. Wait, there's a suggestions forum? Thanks
Might I recommend using '[' for zoom in and ']' for zoom out? And also, wtb "hold spacebar for pan tool, release for previous tool". It would be so nice :D

Rory , if your mouse has a mousewheel button function you can pan by clicking it and moving the mouse.&nbsp; Alternately, you can just hold down the right mouse button and pan that way.&nbsp; Finally, I suggest checking out the shortcuts and advanced shortcuts.&nbsp; The basic shortcuts reference guide can be found by hovering over the ? mark on your toolbar and then selecting Shortcuts Reference. The Advanced Shortcuts will need to be activated via a checkmark in your settings. The guide for that can be found here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Advanced_Shortcuts" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Advanced_Shortcuts</a> - Gauss
Thanks for the tip! It's not the pan tool though, rather more like an analogue stick; I'd prefer something a bit more accurate (by which I mean the pan tool). Adobe does "Hold space for pan, release space for previous tool", and it's very intuitive. I've gone over advanced shortcuts. Changing between the tools isn't really that hard, but the space thing is intuitive and easy to work with, and would give roll20 a more professional feel, imo. Again, thanks for the Mouse 3 analogue stick tip, I don't see that anywhere in advanced shortcuts.

Rory, If you would like the more accurate pan tool then you can use &nbsp; Roll20's&nbsp;pan tool. It is a 'grab and move the screen' tool which is identical to the right mouse button which is also a 'grab and move the screen' function. One other thing I use that I forgot to mention: shift+mousewheel for side scroll.&nbsp; Summary of options:&nbsp; Mousewheel button for 360degree scrolling.&nbsp; Mousewheel for up-down scrolling. Shift+Mousewheel for side-side scrolling.&nbsp; Pan tool via the toolbar. Pan tool via right mouseclick. - Gauss
