Zoom
Press ⌃1 (Control+1) to enter Zoom mode. The screen is captured and you can zoom in/out and pan around.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse move | Pan |
| Scroll wheel / ↑↓ | Zoom in / out |
| Click | Enter Draw mode (zoomed view becomes the drawing canvas) |
| Escape | Exit Zoom mode (or return to Zoom if entered from Draw) |
| Right-click | Exit Zoom mode |
Zoom → Draw → Zoom Flow
When you click in Zoom mode, you enter Draw mode on top of the zoomed view:
- Zoom mode — click to enter Draw
- Draw mode (on zoomed canvas) — press Escape to return to Zoom
- Zoom mode — press Escape again to exit completely
This two-step dismiss works similarly to text mode in Draw.
Live Zoom
Press ⌃4 (Control+4) to enter Live Zoom mode. Unlike standard Zoom, the screen content updates in real time — videos, terminals, and animations keep playing while zoomed.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse move | Pan the zoomed viewport |
| Scroll wheel / ↑↓ | Zoom in / out (1.0x–8.0x) |
| Click | Freeze the frame and enter Draw mode |
| Escape | Exit Live Zoom |
| Right-click | Exit Live Zoom |
