Enlarging and shrinking your visible screen area (tech tip)

[Astro Pen]

A lot of people don't seem to be aware that you can enlarge or shrink the visible screen area of windows by pressing ctrl and either + or -


Pressing ctrl 0 (num lock on) resets to normal.

On a desk top PC that's a browser function, not of windows per se. Bring up another program or try it on the desk top.

I don't have or use a cell phone so I don't know what all they've jacked with the operating systems there.

CTRL+Mouse wheel works well, too.
