Bug Description
Hi, I would like to forward this feature request from the Debian bug tracking system. For the full bug report see:
https:/
"another feature that would be nice to have in qpdfview is a "zoom to
selection" option (similar to the command found in xpdf).
This option could for instance be associated with the middle mouse
button: clicking with the middle mouse button somewhere on the document
page, holding the button pressed and dragging the mouse to another point
would highlight a rectangular area (for instance with a dashed rectangular
boundary or maybe by displaying the rectangular area in inverted colors);
releasing the middle mouse button would zoom to the selected area
(that is to say, it would treat the selected area as the "page" to
be shown in Page-size mode)."
I for one am very content with the existing methods of adjusting zoom, but if you have some spare time, now you know what would make at least one user happier. :-)

Hello,
this seems like a sensible idea even though just mapping it to the middle mouse button will be hard to discover and I can already see that follow-up bug report about making it configurable on the horizon... :-) I'll look into it when I find the time. Patches welcome in any case... :-)
Best regards, Adam.
