Frequently asked questions
- Zoom Out Shortcut Key (Windows, Mac, Chromebook)
- For zoom out in Windows 11, use Win+-: Zoom out with the Magnifier. The tables below list the recorded alternatives by operating system and application; there is no single key combination that works everywhere.
- Does this shortcut work the same way in every app?
- No. The listed contexts include Android 14 / 15, ChromeOS Flex / Stable, iPhone iOS 18, macOS Sonoma, Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS, Windows 10, Windows 11, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, Arc Browser, Canva, DaVinci Resolve, Figma, Google Chrome, Google Slides, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Teams, Miro, Mozilla Firefox, Notepad++, Photoshop, Safari, VS Code. Check the table for each application and platform: the active window, keyboard layout and application settings determine which command receives the key press. An application being available on an operating system is not evidence that this exact binding works there.
- What should I use on a Mac?
- Use a macOS binding shown in the table, if one is recorded for your task and application. This page does not assume that replacing Ctrl with Cmd produces a working Mac shortcut. When an equivalent has not been independently verified, open the linked application reference and check its documented context before relying on it.
