    When working with a touch pad or track pad is very easy to accidentally zoom in or out the blackboard, so a toggle to lock the current zoom will be greatly appreciated for anyone using a laptop.

    You are better to get yourself a small mouse. Working in Unity using touchpad would be nightmare and very innefiecent.

    Hmmm... not sure if that's is a good advice. I can't tell for other laptops, but I find the MacBook's track pad more convenient than the mouse for a lot of tasks, and I can edit the Shader Graph with the same ease (and efficiency) as with the mouse, the only problem I have is that is just too easy to accidentally zoom in or out.

    Hi @georgeq,

    I also often work on a MacBook and found accidental zoom and even intentional zoom to be very sensitive.
    I had not though of locking zoom which can be a fairly simple solution, along with a better handling of touchpad sensitivity.

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Yeah, you're right, sensitivity is the core issue, however please, still consider the zoom locking as a nice to have.

    Cheers!

    Hi,

    we've added a Zoom Step Multiplier to the User Preferences in 2023.3.0a7, amongst other UX improvements including keyboard shortcuts.
