Zoom in with scroll wheel relative to cursor position

Cubase
1

Hello,

I recently started using Alt + scroll wheel to zoom in and out in Pro Tools. I tried the same in Cubase (Cmd + scroll), but there’s a strange difference that makes it almost unusable for me. Instead of zooming at the cursor position (like in Pro Tools), it zooms toward whatever is in the center of the screen. That’s a problem, because I want to zoom in on where I’m pointing, not on the center of the page.

What’s even stranger is that when I use the keyboard shortcuts for zoom in/out, Cubase does zoom at the cursor position. Why is it like that? Is there any way to adjust it so that the scroll zoom also follows the cursor position?

Ctrl/Cmd+wheel should actually zoom to the mouse position, not to the centre of the screen.

yes, it does that. but what I want is to zoom on the cursor position, not the mouse position

This is not customizable, sorry.
Personally I would find it very awkward if the screen zooms at anything else but the mouse position and therefore would not like that feature in ProTools but everybody’s different.
