make the zoom sensitivity in the code editor lower
it zooms to far imo, i can only get it either too far zoomed out or in.
edit: it's not that bad using the on-screen buttons, this only applies to holding control and scrolling.
edit 2: here's what i mean

^^^ this bad

Support, smaller increments would be helpful to focus a certain script

I experienced this a lot on mobile (earlier)hold up wdym blockswhat zoom? the option to shrink the project area thing?no, zooming in/out on blocks.

My browser / operating system: iPadOS 14.7.1, Safari 14.1.2, No Flash version detected (I still have that iPad on that same OS, just never really use it for Scratch)
I get that the made the blocks bigger for mobile/tablet, but this actually was annoying and frustrating on mobile because they were actually too large because of this. When I tried zooming to make the blocks smaller, however, it zoomed out so far that I couldn't no longer read the blocks. Allowing smaller increments (like said above) or changing block size (similar to what 2.0 had) could help with this

I think the effect is coded with trackpads in mind, where scrolling (with two fingers) while holding control causes the blocks to scale smoothly.
That doesn't mean much for your suggestion, but probably has to do with how someone would code a fix. (i.e. keep supporting the below but be a lot more reasonable for more “step”-based scrolling inputs)
