Vertical zooming

Post by davek » Sat Apr 12, 2008 1:01 am

When I place the mouse cursor over the vertical gain scale at the left edge of the waveform display I get a magnifier icon with a plus sign in it. How do I turn that into a magnifier with a minus sign? Sorry for such a newbe question, but I have searched the documentation for a hour and can't find the answer.
I've got this hugely magnified waveform on my screen and can't figure out how to get it back to normal!
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Control-Click does it on the Mac (hold control down and click). I would have bet on ALT-Click, myself because a lot of programs reverse their tools with that key, but not this one.

Thanks guys. The "right-click" does the trick. CTRL and ALT are ignored. So obvious after you know the trick!
