Sandy Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hi Guys I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I like that my current laptop has touch screen functionality, I can just pinch and zoom into anything as I would on my phone, it doesn't lose contract or quality either. I find this functionality handy for when I'm using google street view, as I tends to be handy for my work. The standard way of zooming by pressing CTRL + using mouse scroll wheel doesn't work in the same way as it maximises text, boxes etc, whereas the pinch and zoom changes nothing but zooms into what you need. Touch screens tend to be a lot more expensive and don't have the same kind of response times as non touch screens. My question is, Is there a way of zooming in, keeping the same quality and without moving things around on a non touch screen laptop? This'll help sway my decision. Thanks in advance!

+primortal Subscriber² Posted May 23, 2022 Subscriber² Share Posted May 23, 2022 You shouldn’t need to use the CTRL along with the mouse scroll wheel. Just the mouse scroll wheel. Sandy and wakjak 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't try that. I also found an extension if this thread is useful for anyone in the future - Mouse Pinch-To-Zoom on the Chrome web store for scrolling elsewhere in their browser. +primortal 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait im confused. WIthout extensions, scroll wheel scrolls the page be it a browser, pdf, etc. How does Scroll wheel WITHOUT CTRL cause it to Zoom? Is this a accessibility option Microsoft added in Windows 10 or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
