At current, a very frustrating experience is that when we have a certain view angle and section active, then use the search bar to find something, or double click in the browser panel, Qonic automatically rotates and zooms to fit the new selection on screen.

The zooming I can live with. The rotating is very unpleasant. Can this be disabled please?

Hi Johan,

This is a good suggestion, I talked about this with the team and we can easily change this behaviour. We will have a look to adjust this.

As an alternative, maybe a command (button or otherwise) could be added that has the “zoom to selection” functionality that currently happens upon selection. As long as it is in a separate command I think it **can** be very useful.

Actually, you can already use the left/right arrow keys to zoom in on your selection and rotate around it. Does that help?

That’s actually very useful! good to learn this kind of small trics 🙂

Certainly because it appears to be only zoom and no change of view angle/rotation.
