Zooming in Logic without Trackpad?

Is there a short key for zooming in Logic when you don't have access to the trackpad? This isn't a problem in my mobile rig but when I'm home I like to use my TV as a monitor and use an external mouse and keyboard. This works great in my main DAW but I notice I can't zoom the way I want to when I'm in Logic. I know I could click and drag my mouse over a region I want to zoom in on, but it's not as smooth as I would like it to be.

Would love to know if there is a way to zoom in and out using keys or a key command instead of my mouse/trackpad.

Thank you!

The Key Combination CMD+ Up and Down Arrow Key work great to zoom vertically whereas CMD+ Left and Right serve well for horizontal positioning. We hope this is helpful.

And don't forget the Key Command Zoom Focused Track (ctr+Z) to quickly toggle zoom vertically on the currently selected Track. If it is enabled, you can scroll through the Tracks ar click to select, and then (only) that one will be zoomed.

Edgar,

Not sure if you know this but I am personally hoping that you write and create the new Manual/User Guide for Logic Pro 11 as a GEM Manual. I am adding your name to the ballot. 🤪
