Touchscreen Gestures
The touchscreen of your computer allows you to perform actions like zoom and
scroll using gestures. These gestures are defined in the operating system and used
in touchscreen enabled applications.
NOTE: Some of the gestures are application-specific and may not work outside
the application.
Zoom
Allows you to increase or decrease the magnification of the screen content by
moving two fingers apart or bringing them closer together on the screen.
To zoom in: Move two fingers apart to enlarge the view of
the active window.
To zoom out: Move two fingers close together to reduce the
view of the active window.
