Hi there

I've been using Maschine SW and HW for years but with the new update Maschine 3 still upset about how SW is developted…

My feeling is Native Instrument SW never take feedback from other sw like Ableton…and "Zoom In" is a point.

Why not allow users to Zoom in/out like Ableton using Mouse+CTRL ? Who use CTRL+Up/DOWN arrow? This is slow action and is really dissapointed to think a producer is going to keep his hand out from mouse in order to do a simple zoom…

So please, take some feedbacks and ideas from other SW (I love Ableton in this case because its GUI) and spend some more time in things like this.

Looks like developers has no time…it's a really pity because things like this is like "is what I really need? Better move out to Ableton?"

Really easy to implement this

why not look for a external program that can remap the keyboard as you require… surely there is something out there in the wild!!

i must admit that zoom shortcut you highlighted… i wasnt aware of….

i can map that to my midi controller now, so thanks for highlighting that!

I fully agree that not following standards is very annoying, NI/Maschine does it with tons of things, being different just for the sake of it which is absolutely terrible for those of us with any level of muscle memory.

At the same time, you can't expect "devs" to go out of their way to attend to an individual request with one upvote.

Too complicated for something this simple. OP is on Windows so a simple script for AutoHotKey should work, in todays age you dont even need to know anything… Just ask ChatGPT to code it, i did… No ideia if it works or need tuning tho.
