How to change mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out (instead of scrolling)? - pstein - 12-05-2023

How can I assign a new function the mouse wheel?

In future using the mouse wheel the current picture should be zoomed in or out.

If you hold down the Ctrl key whilst using the mouse wheel that will have the same effect.

Yeah it's a pain in the ass, when other software like Krita or Blender, you just scroll to zoom in/out, GIMP you need to use your 2 hands

Ctrl-wheel to zoom is pretty much the standard: Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, my two image viewers, my text editor, my file explorer, my terminal/console...

Yeah... I stand corrected, I just spend the whole afternoon in GIMP, and 99% I wanted to scroll down or up.
