How to zoom in, out with key+mouse in KDE?

What about using xbindkeys? sudo pacman -Syu xbindkeys xbindkeys --defaults > $HOME/.xbindkeysrc Then edit with your preferred editor the file ~/.xbindkeysrc and add before the end following lines: # Zoom in "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_in"" m:0x50 + c:133 + b:4 # Zoom out "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_out"" m:0x50 + c:133 + b:5 Restart xbindkeys to apply the new shortcut: killall xbindkeys && xbindkeys N…

It works for me in my testing.

Press Window + scroll up

If key does not fit, you can change custom key in the file $HOME/.xbindkeysrc

i can’t find $HOME/.xbindkeysrc

[Zesko]

Open the console:

1. sudo pacman -Syu xbindkeys
2. xbindkeys --defaults > $HOME/.xbindkeysrc
3. kate $HOME/.xbindkeysrc
4. Add

# Zoom in
"qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_in""
  m:0x50 + c:133 + b:4

# Zoom out
"qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_out""
  m:0x50 + c:133 + b:5

5. Run xbindkeys in the console.
6. Press Window + scroll up
7. If it works, then KDE Autostart adds the application xbindkeys

# The release modifier is not a standard X modifier, but you can
# use it if you want to catch release events instead of press events

# By defaults, xbindkeys does not pay attention with the modifiers

# Uncomment the lines above if you want to pay attention to them.

#keystate_numlock = enable

# Examples of commands:

"xbindkeys_show"

#"xterm -geom 50x20+20+20"

paste it into anywhere in this file.

For example of the file .xbindkeysrc:

...

## Control + mouse button 2 release event starts rxvt
#“rxvt”
#   Control + b:2 + Release

# End of xbindkeys configuration #

# Zoom in
"qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_in""
  m:0x50 + c:133 + b:4

# Zoom out
"qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_out""
  m:0x50 + c:133 + b:5

Did you run xbindkeys in the console?

@Zesko

• Run xbindkeys in the console.
• Press Window + scroll up

[BlackHole]

yes working but i want adjust and turn off

[Zesko]

@BlackHole

turn off

Run killall xbindkeys in the console to turn off xbindkeys.

@BlackHole

i want adjust

Edit the file kate $HOME/.xbindkeysrc → you can change the custom key m:0x50 + c:133 + b:4 as you wish.

[BlackHole]

[BlackHole]

@Zesko

you can change the custom key

i want wide. just an example like 1920 - 1080 display
but in smaller size

[Zesko]

@BlackHole

Can you change the resolution in KDE Display Configuration?

[BlackHole]

no i want change xbindkeys size

[Zesko]

I do not know what do you mean.

I found the different options in KDE Desktop Effect → Accessibilty.

• Looking Glass
• Magnifier
• Zoom

[BlackHole]

yeah i found too. but i don’t understand how to use

[NGr]

@BlackHole

but i don’t understand how to use

I can zoom in using the in-built Plasma effect (as shown above by @Zesko) with Meta+= and zoom out using Meta+-
