Enable Animated/Scrubby Zoom
Add the animated/scrubby zoom feature for PC users--it's time. It's ridiculous Photoshop and Illustrator has it, but not InDesign? Since Mac users are given tools PC users don't have, perhaps Adobe should discount our subscription fee.
Animated Zoom is now available in GPU Preview mode on Windows from version 20.5 onwards.

Genuinely very important to me, at class I can zoom in and out like in Ps and Ai but at home on my PC I don't get the option. Feels like such a small thing, but a big quality-of-life piece to miss out. Why for Mac but not PC??? Feel strangely passionate about that haha.

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It's just painful to work using an outdated zoom tool.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.

Indesign NEEDS scrubby zoom. It makes the transitions from illustrator and photoshop to indesign jarring and unbearable because I rely on scrubby zoom so much PLEASE

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.

Sorry, I hate this Zoom. Just to mention a different opinion. ;-)

Yes, why hasn't scrubby zoom been a thing in InDesign already? Please add it. I'm SURE if you read a couple articles on the internet you'll glean at least a minor understanding of what muscle memory is. MOST of us designers use multiple apps -- it should be SEAMLESS to move between them. There are so many inconsistencies it makes me want to throw a metaphorical brick through this company's metaphorical windows! So while you're at it, please make the Pen tool behave consistently also. Thanks.

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. -

I like the centering aspect of Marque zoom. Please allow us to turn off scrubby zoom

Please, please add this feature since it's very tiring to use weird zooming options every time I'm not using photoshop or illustrator. Marquee zoom is functional but it's irritating and time-consuming.

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??

This pains me every day. Pleaseeeee make scrubby zoom available for indesign. marquee zoom only is the worst when I'm constantly using scrubby zoom in AI and PS.

I am constantly jumping around between Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I prefer the scrubby zoom, especially while using a tablet, and the fact that it isn't available in InDesign makes me crazy.

I can't believe how much time I waste trying to zoom like in Photoshop and Illustrator, only to end up zoom in 1000% because of marquee-scroll. The design-language inconsistencies between software, like this, can be a real bummer.
