ZoomX

A simple and lightweight tool for zooming in and panning around on an X display.

Inspired by ZoomIt for Windows.

Usage

Launchable from the command line with zoomx, but recommended to bind it to a hotkey within your window manager.

Configuration with i3:

# ~/.config/i3/config
bindsym $mod+Shift+z exec zoomx

Installation

Install through the Arch Linux AUR

Alternatively, it's just one file so feel free to build it on your own.

Building from source

Build from source with gcc

gcc -g zoomx.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o zoomx
./zoomx
