First of all, allow me to congratulate you guys on this cute little app that is by no means "little". There is much to praise here. The lack of forced UI, title bars or annoying scrollbars to put up with and a keyboard editor that would make Photoshop ashamed.

As someone who meticulously obsesses over hotkeys and input hardware, you guys went above and beyond with replacing traditional UI controlls with physical, keyboard controlls and the result is just a natural procces. From using right click under a number of contexts to not even needing a left or right click to do many functions such as scale, rotate, crop etc etc and I didnt need to learn Javascript and read 600 pages of API documentation to be able to do this, it just works (Am looking at you Photoshop)



As a result Puref, is my go to program for allot of things and I always think of it when I need a solution for new files or proccess. I so far use it for ideation, design issues of all sorts, notetaking and as an endlessly malleable "panel" for all sorts of programs.


I have but one request to make. Can we move both the options Pan canvas and Zoom canvas with scroll wheel to the keyboard editor? So that we are not forced to pick either Pan canvas or Zoom canvas. Shift, Ctrl, or Alt can be used to alternate between the two. Zooming with a hotkey is just not an option for me. Right now I am forced to use two Purerefs with diffrent settings file to achieve this.


In this age of scrolling on our mobile phones and web browsers, there are too many of us who already too used to doing things this way.


Please consider this, Thanks for being exceptional

Thank you for the kind words! We're happy to hear you find PureRef useful. We just released a new version of PureRef, 1.11.0, in which we fixed so that if you change "Scroll wheel functionality" to "Pan canvas" then zooming will be available with Ctrl+Scroll to accommodate for pinch zooming with track pads. It's not perfect and we do have a task for making scroll wheel completely bindable but we haven't gotten there yet so hopefully this helps somewhat :)

I was not expecting a response this quick let alone a solution.
I have updated and followed your instructions and it works just as I wanted it.
I am so happy man. This was the last thing I really needed. Now I can scroll through my exported PDfs in Pureref like a boss.

Thank you so much!
Next round of Coffee for Admin and Co is on me.

Glad to hear it works as you expected, and many thanks for the support! We'll use it to make PureRef even better :)
