    Hey,

    It’s time to get this solved, because it’s a bit infuriating and can seem to solve it: When using the zoom tool and I tap my pen (Wacom) to zoom in it will often shoot straight to 4200%. I suspect this is because the tiniest budge, less than a mm will be interpreted by Id as drawing a rectangle for zoom.

    The Illustrator zoom tool works the same way, but is not so ridiculously sensitive.

    Is there any way to fix this?

    Is there a setting for sensitivity in the Wacom preferences?
    A quick google suggests that “click threshold” might be a setting to try adjusting.
    Also the newer tablets have Express keys that you be used in combination with a click/tap of the pen, presumably also configurable.

    Alternatively, can you configure a combination of pen buttons to do the equivalent of Apple+, the shortcut for “zoom-a-little-bit”? Which works without having to select the zoom tool.

    Or even, if you’ve only one hand on the pen, configure a keyboard shortcut for zoom which can be reached with the fingers of the other hand.

    Don’t really know – I gave up using a pen, as I found the mouse quicker. The pen didn’t suit the way my InDesign work was going, and I’m not an artist using it elsewhere.

    Chris.
