Zoom the screen with Alt+Scroll in KDE
Install xbindkeys, qdbus.
Enable KWin zoom effect. For best experience, lower the zoom multiplier.
Add this to .xbindkeysrc in your home folder (or create the file):
~/.xbindkeysrc"qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut view_zoom_in" alt + b:4 "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut view_zoom_out" alt + b:5 |
It is possible that qdbus
is available under a different name, like qdbus-qt4
. Try the command itself (without quotes) and see if it has any effect.
Alternatively, with dbus-send
:
~/.xbindkeysrc"dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut string:view_zoom_in" alt + b:4 "dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut string:view_zoom_out" alt + b:5 |
You may want a different modifier. For Meta/Super key, replace alt
with m:0x50 + c:133
.
Then activate xbindkeys
:
killall xbindkeys xbindkeys |
Add xbindkeys
to startup.
