FR: Double click to go back to original zoom and orientation

[KronosTheLate]

Often times one can get a bit lost after zooming too much and/or rotating stuff, especially when the axis is not centered on (0, 0). I would love to double click to return to the original plot, much like is Plotly and PlotlyJS.

With Axis it's ctrl+click but this is not implemented for 3D plots

That works, thanks. I do find The current interactive controls a little unintuitive in general for Makie right now, and would love this as a more inntuitive alternative for people who are used to double click to reset for whatever reason

It took me way to long to figure out how to pan and reset the plot. If the interactive controls are going to change might I suggest.

Click + Hold --> Pan
Double Click --> Reset
(Ctrl|Shift) + Click + Hold # 2D only
Scroll --> Zoom # 3D only

Are these default controls listed in the docs somewhere? I thought I had read through most of it, but I also missed that Ctrl + click resets the zoom.

Excellent question! Also: Is there a "go back to previous viewport", like e.g. Matplotlib has on right-click (I think)?
I started looking for plot reset, and found it only via this issue (thank you!)

Perhaps a section in the docs on "Interacting with plots" could be nice?

[KronosTheLate]

I guess this could be bumped, and tagged with "Makie Usability"? It seems, based on this thread, that the current interaction controls are sub-optimal, and I would love a discussion to arrive at a set of controls that a majority feel is inntuitive.

This has been added to Camera3D and will be added to Axis3 with #4131 where it becomes relevant. Docs for Axis and soon Axis3 exist. Camera3D documents this too, though it's probably lost in verboseness...
Closing this as done
