is moved above or below the center of the viewport. The distance of the mouse from the horizontal center
of the viewport determines the speed with which the zoom moves forward or backward. The Dolly option
causes the zoom to move forward when the mouse movement is downward and to move backward when the
mouse movement is upward, by default. The Scale option causes the zoom to move forward when the mouse
ispulledawayfromthecenterpointoftheviewportandtomovebackwardwhenthemouseispushedtoward
the center point of the viewport.
Vertical/Horizontal Causes the view to zoom in and out depending on the vertical or horizontal movement
of the mouse. In Horizontal mode, the default direction is to zoom out with rightward mouse movement and
to zoom in with leftward mouse movement.

when the mouse is moved downward across the 3D view (as opposed to the default behavior, which is the
reverse of this). In Horizontal mode, rightward movement zooms in and leftward zooms out.
Invert Wheel Zoom Direction Causes the view to zoom forward when the mouse wheel is rolled upward
and to pull away when the mouse wheel is rolled downward (as opposed to the default behavior, which is the
reverse of this).

Additionally,if youfind yourself using a particular menu command, youcan right-click any command (such
as Mesh > Edges > Edge Slide) to add or change its shortcut. In Figure 1-20 , you can see this method being
used to change the hot key for setting a bone parent.
