Issue
When using Ctrl+mouse wheel to zoom in the blocks workspace, the zoom increment was too large (approximately 20% per scroll), making it difficult to control and resulting in large, disruptive jumps in zoom level.
Changes
Added a zoom configuration to the
blocklyOptionsinpxtarget.jsonwith ascaleSpeedof 1.05. This reduces the zoom increment when using Ctrl+mouse wheel in the blocks workspace from approximately 20% to 5% per scroll event.Before/After
Before: Each mouse wheel tick would change the zoom by approximately 20% (default
scaleSpeedof 1.2), making it difficult to control and leading to large jumps in zoom level.After: Each mouse wheel tick now changes the zoom by only 5%, providing much finer control and a smoother zooming experience that's closer to what a single +/- button click would do.
Implementation
This is a minimal change that only affects the zoom behavior when using Ctrl+mouse wheel and doesn't impact any other functionality. The modification is consistent with Blockly configuration best practices.
Fixes #6809.
