I submitted Bug #409802 on Bugzilla, but it was suggested that I post it here for discussion. Here is the initial submittal from the bug. Please review bug #409802 if more clarification is required. ******************************** Opened by vabijou@xxxxxxxxx (reporter, points: 3) 2007-02-19 23:18 UTC [reply] It would be useful to add a temporary magnifying window that would provide a zoomed-in view of the area immediately surrounding the cursor. This could be accessed, for example, by pressing SHIFT+Z, upon which a small window would open up and display the area around the cursor. The window that pops up could have some check boxes for the amount of magnification to be used (1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, etc.). This functionality would be very useful when making selections with the pen tool, lasso tool, etc. Another way to implement this would be to have the magnification value in the preferences, and instead of opening up a separate window for the magnified view you enlarge a circular region immediately surrounding the cursor (would look just like you were holding a real magnifying glass over the screen, and would move with the cursor). I tried searching for something similar to this suggestion, but didn't find anything. Sorry if it's a duplicate. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Have a burning question?
