Mouse Wheel Zoom

Unless you have something really important planned for the mouse wheel, might I suggest that you have it zoom a map in and out. Like Google Maps, for instance.

+1 yup this would be handy to have, even if it moved up and down levels of magnification, (100, 75, 50 etc)

You should be able to zoom with with the mouse wheel by holding the Alt/Option key while doing so. Let us know if that doesn't work for you!

Doesn't work, no. Pressing Alt brings up the browser options at the top. Ctrl or the windows key doesn't do anything either. I'm using Firefox 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit).

Yes, clicking on the tabletop area, holding Alt, and using the mouse wheel has no effect.

Was there ever an answer for this? I haven't been able to get this to work in either Firefox or Chrome. I gotta be missing something.

So some of you can't use ALT+Mousewheel for Zooming in Roll20 with the Chrome web browser? Never had a problem with it, excepting that the Zoom level at the Toolbar isn't synced at all (*) with the Zoom level reached by means of ALT+Mousewheeling. (*) I mean, you can be viewing something at 250% while the Zoom tool shows 80%, for instance. (Edited for clarity.)

I think they are wanting to zoom in the game zoom rather than the browser zoom by using the mousewheel. - Gauss

THIS! It feels so wierd rolling my mousewheel and nothing happening. Having to select the zoom level from the right seems too clunky.

What I have been getting used to is holding down the middle mouse button and then panning to the area I want to see, but zooming would be easier without question.

I think they are wanting to zoom in the game zoom rather than the browser zoom by using the mousewheel. Indeed @Gauss, I meant the very Roll20 Zoom capability when it's running inside the Chrome web browser (by means of ALT+Mousewheeling) --but not the very Chrome Zoom, which instead works by means of CTRL+Mousewheeling.

Ahhh ok Axel. Yes, you are right. It isnt synched, I noticed this myself. - Gauss

This doesn't work for me either. Windows XP SP3, Firefox 17.0.1. Using the zoom menu option is a pain in the rear. It's one of my very few complaints about Roll20.

Doesn't work for me either. I'm using Win7 and Firefox. All the other Alt + something seem to be working.

Myself and my players are also having this problem, none of us have been able to use alt mouse-wheel zooming.  Most are using Firefox and Windows 7 as well, but a few are using win 8 and/or chrome.  We've all found it annoying that zooming with the toolbar slider does not stay centered with the current view and instead jumps to the upper left corner each time.  Especially frustrating on very large maps to have to hunt after scrolling.  For the most part otherwise we really like the program.

This should be transferred from suggestions to bugs. Alt + scroll still does nothing.

Alt+ Scroll does nothing for me, But Ctrl+Scrolling resizes the sidesboards (Chat, options, players, macros etc...)

Ctrl+Scroll is the Browser doing the zooming.  Alt+scroll does work for me and its Roll20 doing the zooming so only the map zoom changes and not the whole browser window.  I'm using Chrome.

also FF/Win7 and doesn t work for me
