Laptops have made life easier for people as it allows people to finish their tasks no matter where they are. New features in the latest laptops also add to the ease of the people — one such feature is the option of zooming in and out of the computer.
Zooming in allows the user to:
- Read small text easily
- See finer details on their computer screens
How to zoom on a laptop
The keyboard method involves using the plus and minus keys. On many keyboards, you can find them located next to your "Backspace" button.
If you have a number pad on your keyboard, you may also find the plus and minus buttons here. Follow the following steps:
- Press the "Control" key. There are typically two "Control" keys on a keyboard, denoted by the letters "ctrl."
- Locate the plus and minus keys on your keyboard. They're often two different buttons, with the "+" and "=" symbols on one key and the "-" and "_" symbols on the other.
- If you want to zoom in, press the plus key while holding down the "Control" key.
- If you want to zoom out, press the minus key while holding down the "Control" key.
- Continue to zoom in or out until you reach your desired view.
It should be noted that each time you press one of the plus or minus buttons, the level of zoom increases or decreases. For example, pressing the minus key once zooms your screen out to 90%, and pressing it again zooms out to 80%.
