ZoomPad
Big + and - buttons on screen that zoom the camera in and out. Made for the Steam Deck touchscreen in WoW: Forever.
ZoomPad puts big + and - buttons on screen that zoom the camera in and out. Made for playing World of Warcraft: Forever on a Steam Deck: tap them on the touchscreen. They work with a mouse too.
What it does
Forever's controller mode zooms only while you hold both bumpers and push the right stick, which is awkward on a handheld. ZoomPad puts two buttons on the right edge of the screen, under your right thumb:
- Tap + to zoom in one step, or - to zoom out one step.
- Hold either one to keep zooming until you lift your finger.
- Drag either button to move the pair somewhere else. Lock them once they are where you want them, so a drag can never move them by accident.
Options
Click the spyglass button on the minimap to hide or show the zoom buttons; right-click it for the options. You can also type /zoompad, or use the addon's entry in the minimap's addon list.
| Setting | Command |
|---|---|
| Show or hide the zoom buttons | /zoompad show, hide, toggle |
| Lock them in place | /zoompad lock |
| Show or hide the minimap button | /zoompad button |
| Button size: small, medium or large | in the options |
| How far each tap zooms: small, medium or large | in the options |
| Put the buttons back where they started | /zoompad reset |
| Zoom one step (for a macro or key binding) | /zoompad in, /zoompad out |
Good to know
- On a Steam Deck, the touchscreen acts as a mouse, so a tap is a click. If Steam Input is set to a layout that turns touches into something else, switch the touchscreen back to "Mouse" (or "Direct touch") for ZoomPad's buttons to respond.
- The game's Max Camera Distance setting still decides how far out the camera can go.
