Description trmdi 2021-04-07 03:27:34 UTC
When annotating a screenshot, the mouse-wheel event should be used to trigger the scroll the screenshot by default. I think the zoom function is not as needed as the scroll one.

As for the zoom function, we could add new buttons or use "Ctrl+mouse wheel" to trigger it.

The annotations view comes from https://github.com/ksnip/kImageAnnotator. Does it already have that feature and we just need to make use of it, or does it not have that feature?

The feature are available already. Just need to make use of it.

Gotcha.

Would this affect touchpad scrolling as well. It's generally much nicer for a two-finger touchpad gesture to be interpreted as panning than as zooming. I would want to make sure that we have different handling for those cases.

Do you know if KImageAnnotator supports that?

Yeah that one isn't used at all. It can probably be closed.
