bashcommand lineshortcut-keyszooming
I've been looking for this for a while, and I can't find it anywhere.
I need to be able to zoom (equivalent of ctrl + shift + '+') via the terminal. I've tried xdotool, but do not know how to get it to register '+' (or the = key).
This is very important and has been a life dream of mine. Now that I'm somewhat capable with Ubuntu, I feel that I can finally achieve this goal: I need to make an alias such that when I type in "enhance", everything zooms.
What a brilliant question! :-)
This is what you want:
xdotool keydown Super && for i in $(seq 0 30); do xdotool click 5; done && xdotool keyup Super
you probalby need to sudo apt-get install xdotool.
With GNOME Shell (instead of Compiz) as Window Manager (wmctrl -m):
Surprisingly, numpad +/- won't work.
You can change the shortcuts on Settings > Devices > Keyboard and zoom options on Settings > Universal access settings > Zoom:
Issue: Screenshot of an area (Ctrl + Shift + PrntScrn seems to be broken when zoom is enabled. It captures a region with an offset. Also, it doesn't start zooming where is the pointer.

The
xdotoolcommands to use are:Zoom in (aka Ctrl++)
Zoom out (aka Ctrl+-)
Normal size (aka Ctrl+0)
