Description

Touchpad users enjoy pinch-to-zoom on Firefox. That's a zoom type that doesn't reflow the page. It just... zooms in.

Only recently I found out that it's actually possible with desktop too. Firefox has `mousewheel.with_control.action` config key to control the modifier key (3: Windows key, 5: Ctrl). So you can actually pinch zoom via ctrl+scroll.

Is it possible to support this feature in Scroll Zoom?

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the JavaScript handler for scroll-zoom input and compare its modifier handling with Firefox's mousewheel.with_control.action behavior. Done means ctrl+scroll provides pinch-style zoom without reflow while preserving existing mouse-button behavior.
