Timeline scrolling - Vegas on Laptop Trackpad

metrama wrote on 3/24/2018, 8:40 AM

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but not to Vegas. Been using it since version 7, but always on a desktop.

Long story short I'm on a laptop now and on the go. Running it on Surface Book 2 with touchscreen & trackpad - no mouse.

For me to scroll through the timeline HORIZONTALLY, I have to hold Shift + 2 finger scroll VERTICALLY on the trackpad. ANNOYING! Not to mention, incorrect prospectively.

To scroll VERTICALLY on the timeline, I have to hold Ctrl + 2 finger scroll VERTICALLY on the trackpad.

To zoom in the timeline, I have 2 finger scroll VERTICALLY on the trackpad.

Now if this doesn't sound horrific enough, imagine trying to edit with such controls.

My question is this: How can I change the trackpad controls? Is there a way? And if not, how can we get in touch with the developers to implement this:

Take full advantage of multi-touch trackpads. Not even getting into the touchscreen. The basics would be simple:

- Pinch to zoom on trackpad to zoom in and out of the timeline

- 2 finger scroll HORIZONTALLY or VERTICALLY to scroll through the timeline left/right or top/bottom.

This would feel correct and simplify the workflow by so much.

Any help would be appreciated!
