[Request] Pinch to zoom

[notklea]

It would be nice to have a tool where you could use a touchscreen device to zoom in/out, maybe also small erasing and/or draw, but not entirely sure on how.

I'm not sure about the specifics of implementing this tool. I feel like this is something you can do if you have a pen tablet (zoom in and pan when holding the pen button, draw with the brush when you push down on the screen, and erase when you use the eraser side of the pen), but I don't know how a multimode tool is supposed to work exactly. If there's an example of this kind of tool in another application, that would help me get an idea of what it might look like.

I was thinking for touchscreens in laptops and stuff, so you'd be able to do a gesture similar to that of pinch in to zoom for web browsers, and I saw the paint and delete feature where you put your palm entirely to delete, but that might be harder to do, so I guess having pinch to zoom-in-out and a mode where you can easily (bigger buttons) switch between the paint and delete mode might be neat.

I feel like clicking the eraser tool button to switch to the eraser tool is simple enough already. Touch screens will be supported in the future, and there is room to improve the UI for touch screens, but even then I don't think there's a reason to have an extra button to switch to the eraser. If it helps, right now you can increase the GUI size in the Settings (the setting is called "Max GUI Scale"), which can help with clicking buttons on a touch screen.

As for pinch to zoom, that's definitely something I will be adding in the future along with a pan gesture. I'll be adding that when touch screens are properly supported.

I agree, I didn't notice that when I quickly tested the web version.

Oh ok, thanks :)
