How can I zoom in and zoom out on a timeline, so that slider slides through less time when zoomed in and vice versa?

I found this issue that asks about it but doesn't go over how to zoom in and out of the timeline.

you can use your mouse wheel or the zoom button in the lower left

Oh I see, I was pinching towards the center which didn't do anything, I'm supposed to pinch away from it like the image shows.

By the way, is there a way to change the gestures / what they do in the app? That could be a setting where the default is to scrub by swiping with two fingers, but users like me to change it to something else if they'd like. I'd want to swipe with two fingers to zoom instead.

unfortunately it's not possible to configure this in losslesscut now. maybe you can use some app in your operating system that allows you to remap gestures

OK, I'd get back to you when or if I get to that.

Mouse wheel on the waveform (I have loaded an audio only file) does not do anything. Mouse wheel on the timestamp moves in time, does not zoom. Only the "zoom" selector (but not buttons, it is a drop-down) I find.

for now you have to use the mouse wheel on the small waveform (right above the timeline)

There it only says "Zoom in more to view waveform". When I use the drop-down to zoom in more, I see the small waveform. When I do mousewheel there, it scrolls in the timeline, does not zoom.

Ah, it was wrong of me to say mouse wheel. The zoom action in LosslessCut is the HTML scroll event. On MacOS (which I use), this can be achieved by pinching two fingers on the trackpad of my macbook and then moving them apart or closer. on Windows I'm not sure what is the shortcut for that if you don't have a trackpad, but I imagine something like CTRL+mousewheel

EDIT: Actually LosslessCut uses the wheel event and checks for thectrlKey property (or whatever modifier key is configured in losslesscut for "Mouse wheel zoom modifier key"). It seems that MacOS simulates wheel event with ctrlKey: true.

I am neither on MacOS nor on Windows. I tried CTRL+mousewheel. Works. But _very_ coarse (1x -> 11x -> 32x -> 72x ...). This should go in fine steps.

you can configure it "Timeline trackpad/wheel sensitivity"
