magnify

Zooms in and out with an optional animation.

Example
sh
pypr zoom  # sets zoom to `factor` (2 by default)
pypr zoom +1  # will set zoom to 3x
pypr zoom  # will set zoom to 1x
pypr zoom 1 # will (also) set zoom to 1x - effectively doing nothing

Sample hyprland.conf:

sh
bind = $mainMod , Z, exec, pypr zoom ++0.5
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, Z, exec, pypr zoom

Command

  • zoom [value] Set the current zoom level (absolute or relative) - toggle zooming if no value is provided

[value]

unset / not specified

+value / -value

Update (increment or decrement) the current zoom level by the provided value.

++value / --value

Update (increment or decrement) the current zoom level by a non-linear scale. It looks more linear changes than using a single + or -.

NOTE

The non-linear scale is calculated as powers of two, eg:

  • zoom ++1 → 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x...
  • zoom ++0.7 → 1.6x, 2.6x, 4.3x, 7.0x, 11.3x, 18.4x...
  • zoom ++0.5 → 1.4x, 2x, 2.8x, 4x, 5.7x, 8x, 11.3x, 16x...

Configuration

factor

Scaling factor to be used when no value is provided.
