magnify

Zooms in and out with an optional animation.

Example

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:

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

• 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...
