Grid and snap automatically adapts to zoom level (solved)

[mawi]

Is there a grid and snap feature that can be adapted to the zoom level? If not, is this planned for the future?

Was asking myself the same question

What i use for that is a "workaround" cause i believe your wish isn't implemented natively in Reaper (yet).

When you have ReaPack installed (www.reapack.com) , you will have this Action:

Script: mpl_Zoom horizontally, change grid relatively, preserve grid visibility and snap state (mousewheel).lua

Assign it to your mousewheel (mousewheel plus modifier key like SHIFT is also possible).

- Make sure you have Snap turned on.
- Dial mousewheel.

Now, Arrange View will be zoomed horizontally and the grid values will change accordingly.

Kudos ofcourse to great scripter mpl for this great script !

That's indeed a marvelous script, thanks for mentioning vanhaze and thanks for codind MPL!

I made a version where you can assign zoom in and out to shortcuts.
I don't feel like adding those to my repo, since all kudos go to MPL, maybe he can add them to his repo.
Basically, I only removed the mousewheel assignment and the if condition.
