The other day I thought it would be nice if desktop browser easily did what iPhone's browser did.
Zooming into to parts of a page with a double-click would be really nice on those late nights where everything is getting blurry. (Yes, I know you can zoom in; it's not the same.)
- palish 18y agoI know what you mean. I use Ctrl-+ (Control-Plus) and Ctrl-- (Control-Minus) to enlarge and shrink text on the page. Firefox is nice because that also enlarges and shrinks images; Chromium doesn't do that.
- jcl 18y agoI like to use control plus the mouse wheel to zoom in/out in the web browser -- not sure if this is what you mean by zooming. One feature I like about Ubuntu's 3D-accelerated window manager is that it can zoom windows -- which is different from maximizing them because it makes everything (including menus, etc.) proportionally larger. So the "Windows key plus R" zooms until the focused window fills the screen. Win+1 zooms to standard desktop size, Win+2 zooms to double size, and Win+3 zooms to quadruple size, which are great for watching Flash movies that don't have a fullscreen option.
