I went to Mac's Preferences for TrackPad and uncheck Zoom already, but if I go to Chrome or Firefox, and use two fingers to zoom, the page will still zoom in or zoom out. It is troublesome because sometimes I mean to move the mouse cursor or scroll up or down but instead zoom in or out of the page instead, so hoping to disable it.
To disable the zoom of a web page you want to uncheck the "Pinch" action in the Trackpad Preference Pane as Screen Zoom is a different feature (For zooming in the entire interface). Myself I have it disabled for this exact same reason - I trigger it accidentally far too often.
i cant help you with 1 & 2 but i can say for #3, every 3d modeling program i have used (not many) do this. you need to zoom to object or reset the view with one of the zoom commands to get you close then you can continue to zoom with the mouse from there. why it does this, i have no idea.
thats funny mitch, i use a 705 as well on my mac. i love the mouse and i have no issues with it other than as you say, each click of the scroll wheel is just 10 times too far, just too sensitive. it does anything outside of rhino at normal speed. on the windows side i have a 560 and that is always fine. normal zoom speed no problem and always consistent. my space navigator however is another story. that does exactly what you guys are saying where it doesnt pick up the speed settings and axis directions you have set in the driver so you touch the thing and your all over the place. i have to hit the calibrate button or make a change in the driver then save. all goes back to normal then. i dont have this problem when its hooked to my mac. i have to do this just about every time i use it.
Instead of downgrading zoom to the Intel version, one solution is to download and install the free streaming software OBS. OBS recognizes the EOS Webcam Utility camera readily, and when its Virtual Camera is started, zoom (as well as several other apps on MacOS) will see OBS Virtual Camera as a new video feed.
I have a macbook pro and I have the latest update on illustrator. Until today, I have never had a problem with zooming in/out using my touch pad. Please advise, I understand that this was an issue once before approximately a year ago. Thank you.
In the touchbar on your macbook, select the presentation mode icon, in presentation mode you are able to zoom in/out, do either of these to assure the artboard is no longer in the same position. Then simply exit presentation mode! Problem should be fixed!
I have the same issue with my Mac. So far I have just been restarting my Mac to fix it but I am finding the 2 finger pinch and spread to zoom in and out has stopped working more frequently and I am getting tired of constantly having to restart my Mac every time I want to fix the issue.
I found it happening after I started using my Huion drawing tablet. If I unplug the tablet's USB when not in use, then I don't have the problem with the pinch zoom. If I leave the USB plugged into my computer, then the pinch zoom stops working. Hope this helps.
I have the zoom app on my 2011 macbook pro. My computer cannot be updated past mac OS Sierra, but the zoom app was able to be installed. However, it had a lot of unlabled buttons, and when I tried to use it for a virtual sunday school class, there was no audio. I ended up using the zoom app on my iphone instead. I will follow this topic to see if anyone else has had better luck using the mac version of zoom.
Currently in my application i am catching the mouse wheel events and perform zoom in or out on a Canvas element. If user uses Mac and tries to perform zoom with the trackpad, there is no event and what actually happens is zoom in/out of browser.
At least in Chrome, trackpad "pinch-to-zoom" triggers a wheel/mousewheel event that appears as though the ctrl key is pressed. You can capture this event just like any other wheel/mousewheel event and prevent its default from occurring. Here is an example using jQuery:
Starting from Safari 9.1 you can catch zoom and rotation events from OSX devices. For more information read the GestureEvent Class Reference. Note that this only works in Safari but since your question was about "Mac trackpad zoom" I think this is what you are looking for.
There are a few questions regarding this issue but they are quite old. Moreover, the solutions that are listed do not seem to work for me, so I'm wondering if this is a new issue. The problem is that I am unable to interactively zoom when viewing a 3d plot in matplotlib. I have tried all possible (I think) combinations of right/left/center clicks and drags, including using the pan and zoom buttons on the interactive plot.
After a lot of fiddling and testing, I think I have a solution to this problem. It appears you need to touch three fingers to the touchpad and (left) click. At that point, you need to remove one finger (while holding the click); moving the other finger up or down (not left or right) then leads to zooming. Very strange behavior, but at least I now know how to zoom a 3d figure.
Zoom works as it should in Firefox and Safari, but not in Edge/Brave/Chrome. My OS language is set to Norwegian.
Any ideas on how this could be solved? Not being able to zoom using keyboard shortcuts is such a big issue that I've had to switch to Chrome for the time being.
UPDATE
cmd+shift+0 no longer works for zooming after the latest Mac OS update (12.2). I tried many other combination but found none that allows me to zoom using keyboard in Edge. Zoom with cmd+shift+0 still works in Chrome/Brave, but not with Edge.
The options to magnify the entire screen or make a specific part of it larger on demand were originally created as part of the accessibility feature set on Mac. These features have quickly become popular with all kinds of users, since the zoom shortcuts are a great solution for many everyday tasks like reading document fine print, enlarging photos, or zooming in on sections of a video.
The screen magnification feature comes built-in with all Apple products and allows you to enlarge the whole screen or zoom in on anything that appears on it, including web pages, photos, docs, and videos.
Now you can zoom in by placing two fingers on the trackpad and pushing them away from each other. To zoom out on Mac, move the two fingers back together on the trackpad. You can also double tap the trackpad to zoom in and then double tap again to zoom out.
Customizing the picture-in-picture zoom is done the same way as altering the fullscreen or split screen styles described above. Specific to the picture-in-picture zoom, you can adjust the size of the window, decide on its location on the screen, and choose if you want it to be stationary or follow the cursor.
Working on a desktop level, QuickLens tools stay on top of all your apps. The Lens, for example, features an up to 64x zoom, making it easy to explore every pixel of your UI and measure pixel areas. Monocle lets you showcase specific areas of the screen with up to 32x zoom and the option to dim the rest to bring more attention to the highlighted spot.
The zooming thing bothered me too, and I just took another look at it. With the shortcut that is visible in your screenshot (cmd: /cmd;) it works, but not with cmd+/cmd-.
With cmd: / cmd; is to be considered: "cmd+: (: = shift+.)", thus cmd+shift+. and cmd+shift+,
