PCB Editor: how to change mapping of mouse wheel?

dontpanic

Hi! I want to change the mapping of the mouse wheel. Actually, I would just to invert it's current behavior (e.g. to match Cadence IC tools like Virtuoso):

-Wheel-down should be zoom OUT
-Wheel-down should be zoom IN

...where and how can I change these bindings? In virtuoso these are defined through "bindkeys". How is this handled in PCB Editor?

Thanks and regards,
Jorge.

    Here are the defaults from the installation env file:

    button wheel_up "zoom in $buttonfactor"
    button wheel_down "zoom out $buttonfactor"

    simply swap the "in" and "out" in these settings and add this to you own env file in the <home>\pcbenv\env file, or in you site file, if you have one. (buttonfactor is a User Preference)
