Multitouch trackpad and zoom

Now I am not really a fan of using the character sheets and all the bells and whistles of this program, really just the map and fog of war only. however multi-touch zoom gestures do not function, instead zooming the whole site, not the map This problem makes the site unusable when you don't use a mouse or use a touchscreen pc, since you have to drag an imprecise slider every time you want to zoom. Is there are way to enable this?

Hey, thelistenersfury, I went and did some testing with my own laptop. Unfortunately, I was unable to get multi touch zoom working using the pinch and spread gesture. What I did find, however, is that I am able to use the zoom function with a combination of Multi touch scroll+alt, to zoom in and out. On my laptop, this was simply a two finger touch, moving up or down while holding the alt key on my keyboard.

Additionally to what Franky H said (use Alt + 2-finger scrolling touch), there is also the Magnifying Glass method of zoom in the Roll20 toolbar (left side), and it is precise in setting the percentage in a way that the slider is not.

It would be better if pinch worked properly, but now it is at least workable. Thank you again.&nbsp;
