Can you zoom into tracks with a keyboard shortcut and your mouse wheel?

[T.L. Renken-Sebastian]

Hello, I looked in the online manual for the answer for this question, I did a keyword search, and I wasn't able to find a solution. I'm hoping y'all can help me out.

I use a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard because I have carpal tunnel which means I do not have a number pad. In other software applications like Audacity, I can hold Ctrl and scroll my mouse wheel to zoom in and out of tracks in order to make more precise edits. I seem to recall that my previous version of VideoPad could do that as well (10.x?).

I have since upgraded to a quarterly plan and I now have the most recent version. I'm in the middle of editing slide transitions for a presentation (see image) and I want to make sure that the transition between images is a smooth crossfade from one to another at the right point in audio track. However, when I Ctrl+Scroll Up or Ctrl+Scroll Down, nothing happens.

On this page in the manual, it doesn't list any possibilities for zooming into Tracks so that you can more precisely place the cursor. (I'm also having difficulty getting transitions to automatically populate between clips, but that's probably a topic for another thread.) Did NCH remove this functionality? Beyond finding the old version, how can I get that functionality back?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If this is what you have in mind, the scroll wheel should activate it - after clicking the focus to a clip in the sequence.  No need to hold <ctrl>.  The same can be accomplished by the slider or the + and - icons at the bottom-right of the window...     Mouse over to see what they do.

Thanks; I thought I had edited it to include the screenshot but I guess not. That totally did the trick, thank you.

(As long as we're on the topic, is there also a way to increase the size of the zoom button and sliders? I have a regular-ish monitor and the buttons and slider down there are very tiny, despite my changing my Windows accessibility options.)

There's no provision for enlarging the sliders and its icons.  But the edit window can be dragged or maximized to fill the screen.
