Zoom

Hold Ctrl and scroll the wheel over the hub to zoom. Scrolling up zooms in and down zooms out, in steps of about 10 percent per wheel event.

Ctrl + wheel up      zoom in
Ctrl + wheel down    zoom out

• The range is 0.5x to 3x.

• The window resizes by the same factor, so the layout stays as tight at 2x as at 1x. Once the limit is reached the window stops growing.

• The factor is saved as uiScale in settings.json and applied at the next start. The saved window size is already the zoomed size, so it is not scaled again. See settings.json.

• Zoom applies to the hub window only. Settings, About, the app editor and Help keep their own size.

There is no Settings control for uiScale and no reset key. To go back to normal size, scroll back the same number of notches, or quit Moonpool, set uiScale to 1 in settings.json (or remove the key), and start it again.
