How To Use Apple Magic Mouse To Zoom In?

To enable the Magic Mouse gestures on your Mac, go to System Preferences -> Mouse and select the “Mouse” tab. This will display two tabs: one for point and click gestures and another for additional capabilities. The Magic Mouse zoom function works like this: screen zoom: hold down the Control key and scroll with one finger to enlarge items on the screen. To enable screen zoom, click “Accessibility” in System Settings, then “Zoom”. To enable scroll wheel zoom, go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom > Keyboard Shortcuts, and then enable the option “Zoom with Scroll”.

To zoom in or out with a Magic Mouse, press and hold down the (control) key while sliding your finger up or down the surface of the mouse. The Magic Mouse zoom gesture, also known as smart zoom, is a double-tap with one finger to zoom in and back out. To perform this gesture, double-tap anywhere on the Magic Mouse’s surface with one finger. The first double-tap will zoom in on the area. To use the cmd + scroll gesture on the magic mouse, double tap at the front of the mouse with two fingers to make it return to the actual size. If you want to use this gesture for zooming, you can either use the predefined actions zoom in / zoom out or use custom keyboard shortcuts (cmd + or cmd -).

In summary, using the Magic Mouse or Apple trackpad on your Mac allows you to use various gestures such as click, tap, pinch, and scroll to zoom in and out on PDFs, rotate photos, and quickly show the desktop.
