Main interface lacks zoom slider bar #5069

Author: TomH Removing the zoom bar was a deliberate design decision and I don't believe there are any plans to revisit it. There are many other ways of zooming - shift-drag, mouse wheel, single click on +/-, shift click on +/- (zooms by three levels). |

Author: aseerel4c26 Tom, it would be nice if could you could provide a link to the relevant design decision discussion. "shift click" and "shift-drag" - you made me laughing... And how should ANYONE know this? ;-) Update: oh, right, in the [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Browsing inofficial documentation] the shift drag (zoom-in box) was already mentioned. I have added the shift click now. Still, those are not replacing the zoom slider which also serves as a easily recognizable zoom-level indicator. |

Whereas other mapping sites feature a zoom slider bar, osm.org only has + and -, so the user needs several more actions (clicks) to get his desired zoom.
(Yes he can also use his mouse wheel but that is besides the point.)
