Draw - mouse wheel
always zooms, which is not convenient

Suggestion
mouse wheel should not zoom by default,
instead rework zoom functionality to modifier keys

any tool + modifier key + mouse wheel (in drawing area)

current modifiers keys

• no mod - zoom in/out

• CTRL - zoom in/out

• SHIFT - zoom in/out

• ALT - always zoom-out, no matter which direction mouse wheel is spined

option A
general approach

• no mod - vertical scroll

• CTRL - zoom in/out

• SHIFT - horizontal scroll

• ALT - same as ctrl or do nothing

option B
like in Photoshop

• no mod - vertical scroll

• CTRL - horizontal scroll

• SHIFT - vertical scroll (3-5lines scroll)

• ALT - zoom in/out
  so it works as alternative action to the curently selected tool
