Mouse stuck in zoom mode

[Marc Silverberg]

Hi.  I'm trying to edit a track, but I've somehow entered a mode in which my mouse cursor is a magnifying glass, and the only thing I can do is make the tracks zoom in (can't even go out - which might make it useful, once I figure out how to get in and our of this mode).

Does anyone know how to get back to a normal mouse mode?

 

Thanks!

Marc

CTRL+DOWN ARROW = Zoom large OUT on the directional arrow key on the keyboard. 

CTRL+UP ARROW = Zoom large

CTRL+RIGHT ARROW = Zoom in

CTRL+LEFT ARROW = Zoom out. 

To get rid of the magnify glass: locate the "STAR (Smart) TOOL" left top corner of the screen.

Thank you!  I thought I tried that, but I guess not.  And I also figured out that it you can also control that by holding down the Z.  Likely I meant to pres Ctrl Z (which I seemed to use a hundred times a session ) and must have just hit the Z.  

THANKS!

Glad I could help. ☺

Just had the same problem, meaning to delete an action but hitting the Z without Ctrl and getting a magnifying glass - then not knowing where to find the solution in Documentation... not knowing what to call these functions in a concise manner is half the problem.

Thanks to you both ?
