@forum_adm you confirmed that modal windows are baked deep into GC's codebase and overall are here to stay for the foreseeable.
Nevertheless the canvas has some interactions during the modal mode
- You can scroll
- The color picker works
- Some effects have instant previsualization
Could you additionally let zoom gestures (trackpad) and zoom shortcuts (⌘ +/-) pass through to the canvas while a modal dialog is open?
- This would help quite massively in many situations!

@forum_adm As this would improve the UX quite a bit, I'd appreciate a minimal answer at least. Thanks!

Re: During modal dialog allow zoom gestures and keystrokes to pass through
The macOS does not send zoom gestures to the scroll view in this case. So, not possible.
Re: During modal dialog allow zoom gestures and keystrokes to pass through
So when a modal window is open, macOS
sends through: scroll, click events for color picker
but does not send through: zoom events
This is the case?

Re: During modal dialog allow zoom gestures and keystrokes to pass through
Yes, that seems to be the case. The zoom gesture function of the view get not called.
Re: [Wontfix, not possible] During modal dialog allow zoom gestures and keystrokes to pass through
Closed as [Wontfix, not possible] as you confirmed that macOS does not permit that.
