Zoom In
The zoomin command multiplies the current zoom level by 1.5× and exits immediately, centered on the viewport midpoint. It is the toolbar equivalent of one scroll-wheel tick zoomed toward screen center rather than cursor.
Zooming in
Click the Zoom In toolbar button or type zoomin in the terminal. The zoom is applied instantly and the command exits — no click on the canvas required.
How the 1.5× step works
| Current zoom | After one Zoom In |
|---|---|
| 1.00× | 1.50× |
| 1.50× | 2.25× |
| 10.00× | 15.00× |
| 6,667× | 10,000× (capped) |
The zoom level is always shown in the bottom-right corner of the canvas next to the zoom label. The upper limit is 10,000×; further steps do nothing.
Toolbar zoom-in vs scroll wheel
| Zoom In button | Scroll wheel | |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom center | Viewport midpoint | Cursor position |
| Step size | 1.5× per click | ~1.1× per tick |
| Activation required | No | No — works always |
| Best for | Coarse navigation | Precise, cursor-targeted zoom |
Keyboard reference
There are no keyboard shortcuts for this command. Use the scroll wheel instead — it works at any time without activating any command.
