Zooming/panning using the mouse wheel scroll

Hey everyone,
Lately I've been frustrated by the functionality of the zoom in Photoshop - and I don't mean the Zoom Tool, but simple zoom in/out operations. I seem to recall that the default behaviour in Photoshop was that you zoomed with Ctrl+mousewheel scrolling, and if you just scrolled, then the picture would pan up/down (vertically). And you could untick the "Zoom with scroll wheel" option if you didn't want Ctrl+scroll to mean "zoom".
However for a while now, having that option ticked seems to mean that scrolling (with no Ctrl) is all it takes to zoom in/out, and if you untick the option then you need to press Alt+scroll to zoom; in either case, there is no shortcut for panningup/down.
Anyway, whether this was really ever the case or not, my question is: is it somehow possible to make it so Ctrl+scroll zooms and (simple) scroll pans vertically? Anticipated thanks for any help.

What PS version are we talking about?
Here is the behavior I see in CS4 when all the Zoom options are unchecked in Edit>Preferences, General tab:
- Scroll wheel alone: Vertical pan
- Scroll wheel & Ctrl: Horizontal pan (a little weird that since the cursor changes to a plus magnifying glass)
- Scroll wheel & Alt: Zoom
It's not exactly what you asked for but it's close (Alt instead of Ctrl for zoom).

Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before

help! Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before ><
In the past I was just able to go into the mouse control settings in control panel and reduce wheel scrolling to 1 page at a time. Now i'm not able to scroll one album at a time anymore, even though my mouse control panel is still set to scroll at one page at a time. Its skipping two albums ahead now and I can't pin point to the album I want now unless if I click on it. I haven't used ituens in awhile so it must be something new on the last 2 updates, I don't see anything in the perference menu.
thx

I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

How to smooth scroll a Spark List using the mouse wheel

I've got my Spark List smooth scrolling nicely if I grab the scrollbar thumb and drag it. But when using the mouse wheel, it's jumping itemrenderer by itemrenderer.
Is there any way to get this to smooth scroll? I'm using a List with variableRowHeight = true.
Thanks.

This thread demonstrates how to customize mouse wheel scrolling:

An enhancement was recently added that will allow for customizing the behavior without needing to subclass. See this bug for the details:

Wacom Intuos Pro with Ai zooming/panning using the stylus not working

I'm having a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium tablet in Adobe Illustrator CC 17.1.0 (Mac OSX 10.9.2) while zooming/panning using the stylus.
I've set my primary button on the pen on Pan/Scroll.
When you hold alt/option+primary button on the stylus (pan/scroll)+drag, you could zoom in/out. (like you would if you were to hold alt/opt and push up on the trackpad with two fingers to zoom in or out - doing this works)
When you hold the primary button, you could pan around the artboards.
I used this alot before in the past with an Intuos 4 with an old driver but now it doesn't work with the new tablet and drivers.
Instead when I hold the primary button it shows only the grabber hand (which is no help).
I have tested this in Photoshop on the same machine and it works as it should, I can Zoom and Pan properly.
Please help - is there a setting I am missing somewhere in Ai?

Kelly,
Sorry for our lack of response. We hope you have been able to resolve this problem, it's not one we have seen ourselves. Single click and drag should be working with an Intuous Pro on Mac or Win. Back in February you may have still been using the older AIR based version of Muse. The Muse CC and CC 2014 may have ale have fixed that issue. Please let us know if this is still affecting you...
Thanks,
Dave

Using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

Am I missing some preference setting? I use a mouse with a wheel/roller/scroll thingie in between the right and left buttons.
Why is it that in FCP if you are in the Timeline and you turn the wheel you go up or down the video or audio tracks, but in Soundtrack Pro if you turn the wheel you zoom in (expand the view). I like the zoom thing, but when I go back and forth between FCP and Soundtrack, it is annoying.
Besides the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the FCP timeline to zoom in and out and besides APPLE + or APPLE - , how else can one zoom in and out if the mouse wheel is not an option?

i prefer "option =" and "option -" as that always zooms in/out of the timeline regardless of the widow focus

How can I scroll one full page at a time using the mouse wheel?

I've had this problem for 3 years now. When I nudge my scroll wheel (IntelliMouse Optical) one notch forward or back, Safari moves 1/4 of a page up or down. How can I get one nudge of the scroll wheel to move one full page up or down? Firefox has an add-on, SmoothWheel, that can be set to a full page. Are there any options for doing this in Safari, without having to go to the keyboard? I tried Smart Wheel, no setting for that.
Any ideas? thanks
p.s. Please don't tell me to get another mouse, I've tried dozens of them and the old IntelliMouse Optical is the best one for me. (I'm also stuck on an ancient Apple M2980 keyboard. I love those old keyboards.)

When I want to zoom in or zoom out with the mouse wheel and CONTROL button the letters get larger but remain within the same size paragraph and any pictures remain the same. I want the entire page to zoom.

I want the entire page to zoom in and out when I use CONTROL + mouse wheel. Now the letters get larger but remain in the same size paragraph and also the pictures stay the same.

It is indeed scandalous that Apple sells useless scanned music scores. There is a warning when you chose to download music tabs or notes but it doesn't say that the score lines are very small and cannot be zoomed. I spent $30 on two books but cannot really use them on my MBA as you cannot zoom except for the double click which only works page per page and is only a small improvement.
The only way I can use the score more or less is on my ipad in landscape mode by increasing the font size to the max. The music score then becomes wider and you can read 2-3 lines per page without glasses.
If you could transfer the file to the pdf "side" of the library in ibooks the zoom would work..
What does work is using the accessibility zoom mode option+command+= to zoom and then option+command+\ to smooth the picture but then your whole display desktop etc. are zoomed in.

How do make the mouse wheel scroll in my Flex app/component instead of the browser?

Let's say I have a DataGrid or Tree or List component which
has hundreds of rows. When I place my mouse over the component and
scroll the mouse wheel, I notice that [most of the time] it scrolls
the component a little, then starts scrolling the browser window. I
want it to only scroll the component until it reaches the end of
the rows. Any thoughts?

I have confronted the same issue.
Was anybody able to solve it?
I think mx.contorols.TextArea seems to do well.

Change the amout a scroll bar moves when user uses the mouse wheel?

hi,
i have a JScrollPane, and when a user uses the "wheel" on the mouse, it seems to move up/down 1 line at a time...i would like it to scroll faster basically...so that when the "wheel", the scroll bars move up/down like 5 lines at a time....is there some way to set this value, or how can i do it?
thanks

It looks like it behaves just like if the user had clicked the up or down arrow on the scrollbar, so
I would suggest setting the unit increment on the vertical scroll bar to be 5X its current value. Of
course, this would also increase the amount that gets scrolled when the user clicks on the up
or down arrow. If you don't want that, you'd need to somehow only change the increment on a
mouse wheel event, do the scroll, then change it back. My guess is that you'll need to provide
your own look and feel class to do that.

Using the mouse wheel

Hi all,
I have a flash movie which contains 4 verrtical buttons. The
movie will be used with only a scroll wheel, so I will need to
replace the tab and shift+tab focus functions with mousewheel
movements.
Is it possible? Does anyone have an idea for a starting
point?
Much appreciated.
Paul

I would start with reading the help files for the Mouse
class. There you will find onMouseWheel event and code for how to
make it work. For some reason I don't think it works on the
Macintosh version of the player – even if the mouse has a
wheel. So if that is part of your target audience, you might want
to keep another way of working it.

Issue with Adobe Muse parallax jitters with mouse wheel scrolling vertically.

Hi all,
I'm learning Adobe Muse for the first time to put together a wedding website (http://mattandsangeeta.businesscatalyst.com/index.html), so bear with me as I'm a novice at the software - though I do have the most up version, Adobe Muse CC 2014.
So far, it's been an excellent platform, and for the most part the site functions incredibly well. However, one key flaw I've noticed in it is the parallax scrolling speed when using a mouse.
The parallax portion of the site jitters badly, and while we've found a few improvements for the issue (the best was making sure there was nothing that had scrolling set to "0"), I'm still at a loss for how to get smooth scrolling transition speeds. Every forum Adobe has seems to be showcasing the features, and not troubleshooting this particular issue. A lot of posts are similar, but none seem to be resolved. I've noticed that other parallax pages are smoother with the mouse wheel scrolling down, so I'm hoping it's just an issue with Muse that has a setting or snippet of code that can remedy the issue.
What makes me realize it's the mouse wheel scrolling, and not the site itself, is because whenever I access the site on my surface pro tablet, the parallax runs buttery smooth with touch control or even trackpad control. Same when you click the middle scroll button and pan down. Without any mouse wheel scrolling, it looks great! But with a mouse wheel, it hiccups constantly and ruins the effect.
So, is there any way to smooth out the steps that the mouse wheel scrolling seems to be causing?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Thanks for the link, however that specific thread was one of the ones I referenced in my original post.
In the beginning of the thread, it's clear that coding can fix the issue, though it's not recommended. More telling is that the response you referenced indicates that the issue is claimed to have been either fixed or mitigated In updated releases of Muse.
As you pointed out earlier, however, Firefox displays the parallax a little better than Chrome, and much better than Internet Explorer. I'm assuming that Adobe Muse Creative Cloud 2014 release attempted to this issue.
So my question kind of remains: am I missing a setting that would make the scrolling more smooth, or is it simply just a limitation of the browser / software / parallax combination?
Thanks again for the responses.

Mouse wheel scroll question

Hello to all, i want to make the following question:
I have a canvas which has a vertical scroll bar, inside this
canvas there is a textarea control which has a vertical scroll bar
too. That i want to make is:
when the user put the mouse cursor on to the textarea and use
the mouse wheel i want to make scrolling the canvas and not the
textarea.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies. The solution to my question is this:
package
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import mx.controls.TextArea;
public class newTextArea extends TextArea
public function newTextArea()
super();
override protected function createChildren():void
super.createChildren();
textField.mouseWheelEnabled = false;
private var scrollAnterior:Number=-1;
private var direccionScroll:Number=0;
override protected function
mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
var dirScroll:int = event.delta <= 0 ? 1 : -1;
if (verticalScrollPosition==scrollAnterior &&
direccionScroll==dirScroll)
return;
scrollAnterior=verticalScrollPosition;
direccionScroll=dirScroll;
super.mouseWheelHandler(event);
it works fine, but now i want to make the same with the
canvas, but seems is not possible override mouseWheelHandler event
in it. Any help or suggestion ?
Thanks in advance

CS6 Mouse Wheel Scrolling for Fonts in Character Panel

in Illustrator CS6 I can no longer use my mouse wheel to scroll the list of fonts [which appear when you click the down arrow next to the font family] in the Character control panel. I could do this in CS5.
Anyone know how to fix this? I think it dos not work in Photoshop CS6 either.

Thanks Ivan for the quick response.
Yes, if I simply hover my mouse over the Font drop down it allows me to scroll through fonts [but only shows the single, selected font]. This is quite helpful, if I have text selected, scrolling through fonts quickly changes my selected text to the scrolled to font, allowing me to preview fonts fast.
While I do love and use the feature, I still often like to pull up the "full drop down list" of fonts like I've previously mentioned and use the mouse wheel to scroll through the list quickly. This enables me to see many fonts at once, instead of just a single one at a time. But again, this is where the mouse scroll wheel does not seem to scroll the list. I was able to scroll though the list in older versions of Illustrator CS.
I've attached screenshots to show the specific "list" i'm referring to, just so you fully understand what i'm talking about (which I think you already do).

Do precise sliders adjustments with the mouse wheel

I would like to be allowed to use the mouse wheel to move sliders in small increments/decrements. E.g. 1 by 1 for Recovery and Blacks and 100 by 100 for Temp in Develop module. To be also fast, I should just need to hover with the mouse over the slider, and then use the wheel (with no need to click). Leaving the mouse to use two hands and hit Alt+arrows just doesn't cut it.

Nicolas,
if you have to do a click at first to give them the focus, then you have to do a de-click afterwards as well or at least hit the enter key. Otherwise following shortcuts will be eventually misinterpreted because the focus still remains on the slider.

Can I use the mouse scroll wheel for zooming the timeline?

Howdy...
As a recent convert from Vegas, one of the best features that I miss is using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom into and out of the timeline..
Anyone know a way I can set this up in FCP6?
Thanks...
-Ben

Yes.
(I know I'm gonna get flamed by the pros here who will advise NEVER to use third party plug-ins, but... I've been a heavy user of FCP for years and NEVER had any problem with this, so here goes:)
Install USB Overdrive, and program your mouse with:
- wheel_up to cmd+plus (=zoom in) and
- wheel_down to cmd+minus (=zoom out).
I actually use clickedwheelup and clickedwheeldown for this zooming in and out, keeping the plain vanilla wheel_up and wheel_down for, well, up and down (or clip_left and clip_right on the timeline).
Nice thing is, it then works in the Viewer and Canvas to zoom in and out, too.
HTH.
