How to zoom the screen in windows 7 like in linux (Ubuntu)

Question

In linux we can zoom the screen using Windows Key + Mouse Scroll. On windows 7 how to do it

Answer 1

You can hold the Windows key then press "+" or "-", but it's not as good as on Linux or OS X.

Answer 2

You can use 3rd party software to do that. My favourite combination is ZoomIt with AeroZoom

Answer 3

For me (Win7) the Control and the mouse zoom do the same thing - certainly in Firefox and Foxit. Alternatively the Ctrl and +/- keys.

Answer 4

If you want to zoom using winkey and mouse wheel you can try this script.
