[request] please make mouse wheel zoom in dope sheet work everywhere in the dope sheet area, like the graph editor

[bencresty]

Using the mouse wheel all the time to zoom in the graph editor I would expect the same to work the same in the dopesheet editor. Af first I thought it doesn't, but I just found out that it only works on the top bar where the framenumbers are displayed. It would be nice if mouse wheel would also work when the mouse is somewhere else on the dopesheet window (like in the graph editor). This would make it a little more intuitive and consistent and we don't need to move our cursor to the top bar to scroll, so we can work faster :) The mouse wheel doesn't seem to be used in the dope sheet view anyhow, so it should conflict other features AFAIK.

Hi, thank you for your suggestion!

In the Dopesheet view, if the timelines do not fit the height of the window, a scroll bar appears on the right side and you can scroll with the mouse wheel. Therefore, if we add the zoom function to the mouse wheel, there is a possibility that users will be confused by the difference from the previous operation.

It may be possible to add a hotkey to allow zooming anywhere in the Dopesheet view, such as alt + mouse wheel, but in any case the operation will be different from the Graph view, so I am not sure if this would be the solution to your request.

If you have any other suggestions for this, could you please post them on the forum?: http://esotericsoftware.com/forum/ We can discuss it here as well, but I think the forum tends to be more inclusive of more people participating in the discussion, and since this is about how intuitive it is, it would be better to hear the opinions of as many users as possible.
