Subject: Why Did You Break the Zoom Tool in InDesign?

Dear Adobe Team,

Can someone please explain why the Command + Space + drag-to-zoom behavior in InDesign was altered? This used to be a seamless, intuitive part of the workflow — one of those tiny things that made a big difference for power users.

Now, depending on the version or OS, it either doesn’t work, lags, or flat-out refuses to cooperate unless I perform keyboard yoga. This is not an improvement. This is disruption disguised as innovation.

I’m not asking for a new feature. I’m asking you to restore a basic function that worked perfectly well for decades. Was there truly a wave of users begging you to complicate the zoom tool?

Please bring back the classic Command + Space + drag zoom behavior. Some of us have muscle memory older than your interns.

Sincerely,

Kim Fowler
