If you are a low vision computer user and you require screen magnification, Ubuntu MATE has two magnification options already built in. To turn on or off the default screen magnifier, press
If you are a low vision computer user and you require screen magnification,
<application>Magnus</application>
is a very simple desktop magnifier, showing the area around the mouse pointer in a separate window magnified two, three, four, or five times. The screen magnifier is also useful for accurate graphical design or detail work. To turn on or off the screen magnifier, press
<keycap>Alt</keycap>
+
<keycap>Super</keycap>
+
<keycap>M</keycap>
. Once you have the magnification turned on you can zoom into a portion of the screen by pressing
<keycap>Alt</keycap>
+
<keycap>Super</keycap>
+
<keycap>+</keycap>
. To zoom out, press
<keycap>Alt</keycap>
+
<keycap>Super</keycap>
+
<keycap>-</keycap>
(the minus key).
</simpara>
<simpara>
An alternative screen magnifier is available if you have the
<application>Compiz</application>
window manager enabled using
<application>MATE Tweak</application>
.
<application>Compiz</application>
is preconfigured to allow you to zoom in and out by scrolling while holding down the
<keycap>Super</keycap>
key. The
<application>Compiz</application>
screen magnifier is on and available at all times for you to use. No need to toggle the zoom function on and off. It zooms the entire screen at once, not just a small section of the screen. The zoomed screen follows the motion of the mouse so that you can easily move around to any portion of the screen. For these reasons, this may be a better screen magnifier.
