Hello,
I recently found out that only the +/- Keys from the numerical block of the keyboard work as a shortcut for zooming, not the other +/- Keys. Unfortunately most laptops don't have a numerical block.
I also tried to replace the +/- Keys in the skin editor by pressing the non-numerical-block +/- keys. But in the published tour only the numerical block is accepted.
How could I activate alle + and - keys to work?
Maybe it is important to say that I have a Mac laptop.

Hi Heiko,
What skin are you using?
If you look at the zoom button, you will see in the buttons properties you can add a keyboard key to activate it.
Regards,

Hello,
I use a self-modified version of the simplex_v6. What I did: the zoom-btn from the controllers has the action "Pressed - Zoom In"... andn in the Advanced-Tab there is the Keyboard Shortcut "+" defined. But the zoom only starts with the +-key from the numerical keyboard, not from the main-keyboard.
I also trid to clear the "+" and enter the main-Keyboard-"+". But still only the numerical "+" works.

Hi,
You really want to use something like A and Z.
That said you could use the laptop's keys, - and =.
Maybe add a second two containers and have all four.

I don't understand what that helps - the , - and = key.
Maybe it's important to know that I have a German keyboard layout. The minus-key is left of the right shift-key and the +-key is left of the return-key.
My problem is the following: When I explain in the help-screen that you can zoom in and out with + or - the possibility is very high that someone only hits the + and - keys from the left part of the keyboard (in a full layout) or one doesn't have the numerical block. And then the viewer is very confused that the + and - keys don't work.
