Hi, I've been wondering if there's any shortcut to reset the zooming factor in Max. A little bit like in most of modern applications you can hit ctrl(cmd)+0 to reset the zoom to 100%. is there any shortcut in Max for that?

2nd question. I guess it's more of a feature request than a question but, I'm a windows user, and for all of my other applications, zooming goes in the same direction: mouse scrolling down = zooming out (% down) and scrolling up = zooming in (% up). Max seems to behave in the opposite way, which makes it very frustrating. What would be convenient, would be to go with the system settings, or adding an option to go from "normal" to "inverted" scrolling behaviour.

I'm sorry, I've been looking all morning for answers on the forum and couldn't find any. Maybe I didn't search with the right terms. That doesn't excuse the harsh reply. Feel free to delete this entry if you may.

Also, the ctrl+1 shortcut doesn't work with the keypad... Don't worry, I changed I toggled the num lock key. I can't find any option to activate the keypad and as a matter of fact, the keypad numbers don't work at all with any other shortcut (showing the side bar, the tool bar etc.)

For future searchers, to invert zoom direction, the setting in Preferences is called "Mouse Wheel Zoom Sensitivity" which you can set to a negative number to invert.
