For anyone seeing this past Affinity 2.0. The option to rotate the viewport must be first enabled in Settings → Tools → "Enable canvas rotation with Alt + scroll wheel"
My most used zoom is pressing Z for the tool, then holding alt and drawing a box where I want to zoom. It's very fast since I already have my left hand on the kb. Also when using a tablet I dont have a mouse wheel on the ready.
I reassigned my shortcut keys and use \ for whole picture view - just mouse wheel rotate to zoom - just Z to undo - just A to redo... Pretty much all the regular short cuts for me with the minimum of finger moving.... Might put brush size as S and D also...
@@OlivioSarikas as a digital artist I use UNDO / REDO the most so is much more convenient - with writing I never make mistooks hahahahah... no I just leave the text area to do the UNDO yes its a bit of a pain but hardly ever write...
Just in case anyone else is having problems rotating their canvas on a PC try this: From Edit>Preferences (Tools option), check or uncheck Enable canvas rotation with +scroll wheel
Trying to free rotate using a Wacom tablet, so, no mouse. I accidentally did it once veyr quickly, so I know it is possible. But I can't seem to replicate this. Just to note that how to do these things is different with a pen than a mouse.

It's dumb that it has to be enabled.

that's great too, but you need to switch to the zoom tool for that. My method works with every tool :)
@@OlivioSarikas True but it's not that much of hassle since you just hit the Z key again and it'll go back to what tool you used previously.

do you never hit Z by accident? What if your type z while writing?

the rotation doesn`t work... even if its activated in the preferences
same for me :(
What could I say to the master of this program?
Great work as always.
Thank you Olivio for your teachings and your time.
👌👌👌
My pleasure!
I press and hold space bar then click and drag to navigate the picture
Good friend!
When I press Alt + rotate and the mousewheel or Ctrl+Alt+MouseWheel the document scrolls down and up, do you know why that is?
go to "preferences -> tools" and make the checkmark there for canvas rotation :)
Those are great shortcuts, but for what reason would someone rotate the canvas? Asking for a friend...
Digital artists frequently need to rotate the canvas while drawing and painting.
I hate it when affinity rotates my Canva, alt + control + shift + R does not recentre it btw...
Unfrotunately this is no help if you're using an Apple mouse with no wheel.
