Just spent 15min looking for this scrubby zoom option ´cause I just don´t get why it´s not there... :-(

September of 2022 and as far as i can tell this feature still has yet to be implemented, come on adobe! sometimes i literally avoid using indesign because of this one issue with zooming, just make an option to do it like in illustrator!

It's just painful to work using an outdated zoom tool. Animated zoom will fix loads of clicks and make operations smooth.

PLS i just started using InDesgin coming from Illustrator and Photoshop and this is hard for me to get used to because i go between these programs back and forth.

If animated zoom was added to InDesign for windows, the app would be 10x better! No need to use the basic zoom and it's irritation, all that would be needed is the z button! I mean, look at Photoshop and Illustrator, they have Animated zoom and they're great apps, and animated zoom really help with that... however InDesign doesn't have it.

Bump!
I have just started using windows 10 coming from OSX. So far the lack of scrubby zoom might be the biggest source of irritation switching OS.

Add animated zoom on windows please, its difficult to zoom in and out without this feature, I don´t know if it´s too difficult to do it :/

Insanity that this feature is still not in InDesign considering people were talking about this since at least 2017. This is literally my most wanted feature, why is half of your userbase forced to use a less efficient way of navigation?

My gosh, why is this not a feature on Windows? Do they actually want to punish people for not buying a mac? As a starting designer, this makes learning the Adobe suite so much more difficult. It shouldn't be hard to implement in the scheme of things, so why don't they? The Adobe suite has wonderful programs otherwise!

This is ridiculous. I've been using Photoshop for almost twenty years and Illustrator for five. How am I supposed to break myself of this habit while learning InDesign??

It's not like they have to put in a big effort for the development of this, it literally already exists in some of their other products. How hard can it be to transfer it over?

It's late 2020 and we still need this.

I signed in the Adobe chat and received the absurd response from the attendant: Mac users are more designers than windows users.

Adobe, please just explain to me why there is no such feature in indesign for windows!

Its beyond infuriating and so destructive to my workflow. I go back and forth from Photoshop to Illustrator and InDesign all the time, and not having animated zoom in InDesign is horrible. There's no reason for it. https://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/how-to-get-good-rankings-in-google-images-for-seo

There is an animated zoom feature for PC. If you hold Alt and scroll, this will behave just like animated zoom on Mac. I accidentally found this out because Adobe XD uses the same function for their zooming.

Any update/progress on this? The disappointment is starting to get tiring seeing the marquee selection every time I switch back to INDD from other apps. I mean, when using the hand tool and holding/releasing the left click has a similar function... just give us more control there. That's all. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just do a rough roll-out (maybe in a beta channel feature)... I won't judge, I promise. It just kills my momentum, which migrates all my copy-heavy layout projects over to other apps that offer me that flexibility.

Just Lame

How is this still not fixed?! There is absolutely no reason for it. Its either laziness or something underhanded.

This is what i came here to add or find. I also switch between Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign with frequency and hate the lame, incomparable zoom in InDesign. I cuss every time i zoom in too closely thinking it's the animated zoom. Please add it!!

Absolutely. This is beyond infuriating and so destructive to my workflow. I go back and forth from Photoshop to Illustrator and InDesign all the time, and not having animated zoom in InDesign is horrible. There's no reason for it.
