Enlarged CA Screen - Hit Some Button

alfredo_buscatti · 08-29-2011, 03:50 PM

I was near the top of a window displaying CA, and I must have accidentally hit some button, and the result is that my screen now displays everything about 1/3 larger than just before.

I've checked my display settings under System Preferences (I have an iMac), and they are normal; moreover other screens are still sized correctly.

Can anyone tell me what I did?

try hitting "command -" see if that helps

Or maybe hold the control button down and scroll your mouse to change the size.

This.

You can also hit Ctrl and the plus key to zoom in. Ctrl and the minus key to zoom out.

You BROKE it, Mike! Good Lord, I can't have anything nice without somebody screwing it up. Be more careful next time!

control + or - won't work on an iMac, its command (or ⌘) + or -

Command - did it; thanks a lot.

And Poet, I can well understand it when the efforts of a superior being are thwarted by the underlings. My most profound apologies!

Ain't no thing, brother, as long as you don't make a habit of it.
