Re: [Inkscape-devel] RE: More whinging about shortcuts andkeybindings ;)
Hmm, that gives me an idea... how do you feel about the idea of having
a
more general 'viewport history' or something like that (which would
include zoom), orthagonal to the document undo history?
It IS already a vewport history, that is, each list member in
desktop->zooms_past stores four numbers that define the visible area _and_
zoom. However new members to this list are added only when you are zooming
in or out, not when you are panning canvas at the same zoom. This is
logical: you can pan very slowly, and adding a new "undo step" for each
one-pixel panning will make this history unusable.
However you gave me an idea: I can store past viewport not only before I do
zoom, but also after that; later, when a next zoom is started, I will
compare the current viewport with the last stored and, if it's the same, not
store it. This way I will be adding one viewport record if there was no
panning between zooms and two records if there was panning, these records
storing the first and last viewports at this zoom. I think it will be a bit
more convenient this way.
