Few men you hear zoom in, zoom out fit to page, fit to window, zoom in and zoom out. You'll see its command minus and command equals here. Command plus in command by NUS is what I tell people. Because if you look at the equal keys, it's shared with the plus key. So command, plus a zoom in command minus a zoom out command zero command one right there. So I use those all the time. You may see me navigating through here. That's how we do it. The zoom tool, not that's something that we are going to use quite often. Zoom tool Shortcut for...
