Greetings.

I love the magnifier in MX and Mint Linux (ALT-scrollwheel). Anybody know of a tool to get that same functionality in Windows 10/7?

Thanks.

ZoomIt from SysInternals, now part of Microsoft. Free and you can setup shortcuts for zoom.

Gave it a try, unfortunately it sometimes made my cursor invisible when I exited. Also, when using LiveZoom, I couldn't zoom out all the way. Given this hasn't been updated since 2013, I'm not surprised there's a few wrinkles, but it came close to what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion.
