I have been trying for hours to get the Universal Access Zoom In/Out feature to work. I have used several different key combinations but it just wouldn't work. I got the zoom in to work with ⌘+F1; however the zoom out key would not work and after rebooting it stopped working altogether.

I would really love to give this OS ago and use it long term so would very much appreciate if someone can advise me on how to fix it.

  • Apologies, first time ever I have used a forum for help so don’t know the rules….. I normally just install and play about with the OS to figure out… think I will go back to using Ubuntu for now and come back to eOS in few months time. Thanks for the reply re PPA

By default, elementary OS has a magnifier that can be used by pressing ⌘++ to zoom in and ⌘+- to zoom out.

Note that ⌘ refers to the "Super" key, which on your hardware might have a Windows logo, an Ubuntu logo, or the word "Command".
