Is it possible to zoom in without an external mouse?

[Guest]

I have a laptop here that is probably going to run KSP alright, but, due to its nature, have no middle mouse button. Is there another way to zoom in when building or flying?

Technically, it isn't the middle mouse button, it's the scroll up/down control. Most laptops have alternatives for these actions if they don't support it directly on the touchpad.

Can't you bind the zoom controls to something using the key mapping options?

I figured out one solution; if touchscreen, zooming in is just like zooming a webpage. Thanks for the fast replies, though.

No need for custom key mapping. It's a stock feature.

Really, did nobody but me ever try or stumble across this?

Good find! I thought there'd be a stock control, but never had to use it. My desktop's mouse wheel works and my lappy lacks a numpad.

It's even a stock feature that's in the list of changeable keybinds, guys.

Tex,

I've never used any control other than the numpad + and - for zoom.

Best,
