Mastering zoom view on your laptop charts: A guide for mouse-free users

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Navigating charts on Fintevo without a mouse is simple. Whether you’re using a Windows laptop or a MacBook, you can zoom in and out quickly using your trackpad or keyboard shortcuts.. without a mouse!

Using Your Trackpad

Most laptops support pinch-to-zoom:

  • Place two fingers on the trackpad.

  • Pinch together to zoom out.

  • Spread apart to zoom in.

It works the same way as on a smartphone or tablet.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

If your trackpad isn’t responsive or you prefer keys:

  • Zoom in: Press Ctrl + Plus (+)

  • Zoom out: Press Ctrl + Minus (-)

  • Reset zoom: Press Ctrl + 0

For MacBook Users

  • Replace Ctrl with the Command (⌘) key.

For Dell Laptops

On some Dell models, zoom shortcuts work differently:

  • Zoom in: Ctrl + ↑

  • Zoom out: Ctrl + ↓

  • On Dell Precision laptops, you can cycle through zoom levels using Ctrl + ↑, ↓, ←, →.

At Fintevo, our goal is to make trading seamless no matter your setup. So, whether you’re zooming in for detailed analysis or zooming out to spot bigger trends, these shortcuts keep you in control.
