This section describes how to zoom and navigate the map, and the
commands on the View menu.
Zoom In and Zoom
Out change the zoom in steps, while Zoom In
1% (Ctrl+Shift+=) and Zoom Out 1% (Ctrl+Shift+-)
change it one percent at a time. The Zoom
To submenu jumps to a fixed zoom: 50%, 100%, or 200%.
Reset Zoom (Ctrl+0) returns to 100%, and Fit to
Window (Ctrl+Shift+F) zooms so the
whole map is visible. The current zoom appears on the right of the
status bar. Zoom is limited to a sensible range rather than
continuing without bound.
Turning the mouse wheel zooms in and out, centered on the
pointer. Hold Ctrl while turning the wheel
to zoom in finer steps.
On a trackpad, a two-finger scroll pans the map instead of
zooming; hold Ctrl and scroll to zoom.
Besides the scrollbars, you can pan by dragging with the middle mouse button. The arrow keys also scroll the view when nothing is selected, described in §13 (Keyboard reference).
Reset Origin (Home) recenters the view on the map's origin.
Two checkable options control what is drawn: Show Grid and Show Text
(Ctrl+F4). Snap to
Grid controls whether room positions snap to the grid when
you drag, nudge, or resize a room. A final item, Mini Map, shows or hides the Mini Map dock described in
§1 (Introduction and the main
window).
