Couple of days ago CMD + 1 will zoom to content. it's extremely useful during presentation. 
Now the drop down option is still there but hot-key is no longer functional. Please advise.

Hello Jackie

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! Can you try CMD+0 and see if that works for you when zooming to content? You can also zoom in by clicking CMD+(+) or CMD+(up arrow) and you can zoom out by clicking CMD+(-) or CMD+(down arrow). But CMD+0 should zoom to content. Let me know if this doesn't work for you!

Hello Sami

thanks for the reply. CMD+0 will only reset the content zoom ratio. It is not equivalent to "Zoom to Content".
The hot key CMD+1 was working couple of days ago. Not sure if hotkey removed intentionally or a regression.

Hello Jackie

Unfortunately CMD+1 isn't a hotkey we support. I don't know how that was able to work for you a couple of days ago but if you would like to see all the hotkeys we have available you can open your document click "help" in the top panel and click "hotkey shortcuts". If you would like to zoom to content during a presentation I would recommend clicking the zoom settings in the bottom right corner and choose "zoom to content". I apologize for the inconvenience with this. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

I found using the +/- zoom on Lucidchart to be pretty awful. Zoom to Content works well though. When can a hotkey be created for this? I saw the same message board that said ctrl+1 used to be a hotkey but in Chrome it sends me to the first tab of my browser.

Hi Zach thanks for continuing this thread. Currently the Zoom to Content option in the View dropdown menu and when clicking directly on the zoom % to open Zoom Options remain the best choice as Ctrl/Cmd+1 Ctrl/Cmd+2 etc are intended to toggle tabs in your browser. However I certainly understand how a dedicated hotkey here would be valuable. The best way to share this need and your use case context with our development team is through this feature request form - ideas submitted here are considered when prioritizing improvements to the product. Thank you so much for your feedback - it's how we keep bettering your Lucidchart experience! In the meantime I hope that the Zoom to Content options will allow you to continue your work. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
