BTT Magic Mouse pinch

[smileBeda]

I've setup a "Pinch Out" to trigger "Zoom" (tested with both the "Smart zoom" and just "Zoom").
yet when I am in an active window and pinch out with two fingers on the Magic Mouse no zoom happens.

Perhaps I misunderstand the feature?
I expect to do a "zoom" gesture with the fingers on the mouse (such as on a trackpad or iPhone) to zoom in (pinch out) and zoom out (pinch in).

My questions:

• is this supposed to work? If so, how?
• if I get it to work, I can see how I can select a Zoom (which probably means zoom IN). How would I zoom OUT? There seems to be no action to trigger for that.

I think these are related:

Magic Mouse - Pinch in / Pinch out gesture for zoom in or zoom out

Hey, everyone. Similar question here. I used to use the rotary encoder on the logitech craft keyboard. It has an annoying overlay, but the zoom works so much nicer than mapping cmd+/- to some knob: It works in quick view and other odd places and doesn't necessarily have steps like keystrokes do, if your hardware allows it. It zooms where your mouse is not in the middle of the window and so on. Please add this function if you haven't already.

Still no work around?

I understand thus I can use keyboard shortcut which is a fine thing, but... why is the feature there? What is it supposed to do, if not zoom?

I don't think there is a "zoom" action, where did you see that?

(problem is there is no API for generating the zoom events, there are ways to achieve this via private API, but it's really complicated)

Sorry, I should have pasted the full name: Zoom window under cursor
(And, "Smart Zoom" which usually is a double tap)

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

ah, the zoom window under cursor action just triggers the macOS „window zoom“ (same as pressing the green window button)

smart zoom is also a macOS feature, e.g. in Safari or Preview
