Can you zoom in on the screen?

Microsoft's utility "Magnifier" allows you to zoom in simply by holding
control + alt and turning the mouse wheel.

You can zoom ALL the way in, like to see precisely where the tip of your
pointer is relative to text. Not that anybody else needs to do that...

It's useful for various things. Just set it to run at startup with its
other features disabled.

What is wrong with Cntrl and using the mouse wheel. One key and the
mouse is much easier to do than two keys and the mouse; especially when
the two keys are awkward to get to with one hand.

That hotkey combination is already used by other programs to zoom the content of
windows. Try it in Firefox or Edge or even the Desktop for instance...

Are you saying it can be changed? Or are you asking why it's
programmed that way?

I might use (alt + wheel) if it were user programmable. Alt is easy
to use, being on the ends of the Space key.
