[SOLVED] Keyboard Shortcut for Minimizing Horizontal View

[razor7music 248]

Hey Group--

I'm going back into some older tracks I created to remix them, and man, what was I thinking with how I setup my workspace? I've run into a little snag that I'm sure someone here knows how to solve.

Don't ask me how (or why) but I have my track view window sized as such that I can't access the little mag lever to reduce the horizontal view. If I go full screen, or the middle from minimized, it's just below my monitors viewable area and I can't get to it.

Is there a KB combination/shortcut where I can reduce the horizontal track view?

Thanks!

Does "D" to make the Multi-Dock shrink and expand help?

I am not sure what the "mag lever" is?

Let me try that. Thanks!

I'm not sure what the little magnification sliders on the bottom right are called, so I just called them mag levers.

I have been playing around with both D and Shift+D and they seem to work with some screensets but not others.

Mag levers = magnification sliders.  Makes sense!!!  (Those sliders that change the sizing of the tracks--height and length.) Thanks for the clarification.

Ctrl + Arrow buttons (up, down, left right)

Once I was about to report a bug regarding this " Vertical Zoom Control" indicator. But I think it's not that important...

The bug goes like this:

If you Zoom Horizontally (either using Ctrl + arrow, or using the magnification + and - button), the middle bar indicator will change, showing you the zoom progress. It's not the case with Vertical Zoom, where the middle bar indicator keeps staying still when you zoom in or out. That's it, unless you click and use it to zoom in and out, the middle bar indicator won't move. Try it out... 😊

This worked exactly as I needed it to. Thanks again. It's good for to know anyway as I prefer to use kb shortcuts whenever I can.

On a side, even after zooming out with the Ctrl+Arrow keys, it still didn't expose the magnification slider for horizontal zooming. I find that really strange--but again, I prefer shortcuts anyway, so I'm just pointing that out.

If your using windows ease of access to zoom in for a better view on your OS, try resetting that to zero.

I'm not, but thanks.
