Shortcut for Zoom in/out in desktop app
Is there a shortcut to zoom in and out on the (Windows) desktop app? It is not mentioned on the shortcut list and the usual shortcuts "alt +" and "alt -" are not working.

Hi Beth, thanks for the reply! The shortcuts don't work when I close and reopen the app. I have tried it on different Windows devices. The shortcuts are also not listed in the shortcut overview. I can only change the zoom level via the "view" menu at the top, but since I would like to hide the top bar and also to use zoom in presentation mode, this solution isn't very practical. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Michael if you quit the app and reopen do the alt +/- shortcuts work? Does it work if you go via the 'View' menu at the top of your screen?

There is currently no documented keyboard shortcut for zooming the Windows desktop app itself. Zoom can be adjusted via the Windows menu bar or standard view controls, but not with a dedicated shortcut like Alt + / Alt -. You can see the full list of supported shortcuts here: https://docs.capacities.io/reference/shortcuts.
