I ask:
Is it true that SeaMonkey does not support multi-touch on OS X (stuff
like pinch-to-zoom)? If so, are there plans to support it?
David Ross responds:
What you want is a smart phone or smart pad browser.
I respond in turn:
Um, no. I'm using a MacBook Air and a Mac Mini. Both run OS X. The
trackpad on each machine uses multitouch gestures; pinch-to-zoom in
particular works with the standard versions of Safari, Firefox,
Chrome, and Camino. A "smart phone" or "smart pad" (i.e. iPhone, iPad)
in the Apple world runs a different operating system, iOS. Totally not
what I'm asking about.
There are some documented OS X interface compatibility/implementation
issues outstanding in SM - one of the most glaring (IMO) is not
following an alias or on-disk URL path when using the Profile
manager...looks like you've found another.
I agree - the browser *should* support features of the OS interface, but
in the case of this gesture it seems rather sporadically implemented
amongst the apps I use, so in general I don't use it...still, would be
nice to be able to use this with images.
Does control-scroll no longer work to zoom on OSX 10.8?

still on 10.4 and 10.6
Yes, but it defeats the whole point of having a dedicated gesture built
into the OS. If the user chooses "pinch to zoom" it's because he
doesn't want to use a two handed input method - like on a laptop, a
Magic Trackpad, or when controlling something like a Mac Mini hooked to
a TV and using an iPad or Magic Trackpad (and no keyboard at all) for
control.
Bottom line is that the app (any app, not just SM) should follow and
obey the OS (any OS, not just OS X) user interface pref setting.
