KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS - ZOOM

Hello again!

One way of zooming in, is zooming your eyes in to the screen to find the small "plus" and "minus" symbols to control the screen zoom. You usually have to click multiple times on the "plus" or the "minus" symbol to get your desired result. Well, what if you don't want to do that? I will tell you how you can zoom in and out, without moving the mouse, or having to find the zoom controls on the screen.

All the ways I show you will use the control key to start. One can zoom in or out by holding down the control key, and pressing the "plus" or "minus" symbols on the keyboard. "Plus," will zoom in, and "minus," will zoom out. You can use the "plus" and "minus" symbols on the number pad, or you can use the key that has a "plus and equals" sign for zooming in, and the "dash" key for zooming out.

ZOOM IN:

OR

ZOOM OUT:

OR:

This last way is my favourite and the fastest. If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, hold down the "Ctrl" key and rotate the scroll wheel toward the screen to zoom in, and toward you to zoom out.

Give it a try!
