| Summary | 0004704: Better zoom settings on QWER keys | ||||
| Description | I think I would use QWER much more if the settings were more useful. At present R is the only one I use. I manually zoom as needed for everything else since QWE just don't get me to any useful zoom level and I'd need to adjust with the mouse wheel anyway. Q - Instead of fully zoomed, which I basically never need, how about making this zoomed in just far enough for the icons to switch off. This is ideal for fine placements as it is actually more accurate than the first several zoom levels using icons. W - Make this zoomed out just enough so the Merc. Space Dock, Space Dock and Starship Constructor of your home system look close enough vertically that nothing can be built between them, but not close enough that the selection circle of one overlaps the other. For placing structures, I find this is the most useful zoom level. (Debug shows a viewport of 1920x1080x14564x8192) E - Half way between W and R. This would be the general tactical system view for managing combat. R - No change. This is for finding stuff way on the outside of the system. | ||||

There should still be a command for fully zoom in, if for nothing else but sake of completion. Maybe leave it unbound by default, as I would agree it has only situational use. It can be useful for picking out individual units for micro, but that is about it. I agree with this though. |

Yeah, 5 keys bindings we can set would work fine (with the 5th unbound by default). Optionally let us customize each of the 4 zoom levels to whatever zoom level we want. |

Linking to my own request, which is similar: "Here's what I'd like: Shift-Q automatically zooms and pans to the perfect zoom level, whereby all planetary wormholes fit on the screen." |
