Due to my ageing and seemingly deteriorating eyesight, I'm a frequent user and abuser of the macOS accessibility zoom feature, which I normally invoke with the default trackpad gesture (a 3-finger double top) on my MacBook Pro. I was hoping to map this to a Magic Mouse gesture so it can be quickly accessed without reaching for the trackpad or (if in clamshell mode) a keyboard shortcut. It's something I use frequently but only quickly to check small text or details here and there. Unfortunately I couldn't find this gesture in the library of options available. There were two zoom options I could find but these weren't the accessibility full-screen zoom I am after. One was the zoom window, which seems to enlarge application windows in the Finder, and the other is smart zoom, which is mainly only used in Safari or other browsers to zoom parts of a web page using a two-finger double tap gesture. Neither of these are helpful in full-screen apps like games or where the full-screen zoom is just quicker and more convenient. Is it possible to configure BetterTouchTool to add the accessibility feature I require as a Magic Mouse gesture, and if not is it something that could be added in future updates? BetterTouchTool seems incredibly (if not overwhelmingly) capable of many things already and if this is possible I will purchase the software just for this. Looking forward to hearing back either way. ---

In 6.844 I have added an experimental option to the "Start Smooth Zoom" action: ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/e/b/eb1de86181a43aff6b371de437ece45514fa857f.webp) You can now set the zoom target to "screen" Can be used with various gestures, just make sure you have configured zoom in (positive zoom speed value) and zoom out (negative zoom speed value) gestures ![image](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/c/9/c914ac0c9e5f05314f6d60e9cbedfe0467bf5dc9.webp) ---

This works really well, except one thing - zoom speed doesn't work with pinch gestures. Good enough though I was just nitpicking a bit ---

I’m really impressed by such a quick turnaround, but have yet to test this myself yet due to, well, life I guess. I’ll endeavour to do so tomorrow or as soon as able and will report my feedback also. I think it’s a really useful and even important option to have available. It’s funny because when I was in a bar and saw someone using it on their MacBook I had to mention to them that I understood and need the same thing. Cheers from Sydney.
