Mouse wheel click for "mini" zoom window

[djm]

Using LDD today, I accidentally clicked my mouse's wheel. It exposed a function in LDD that I didn't previously know was available. I had a browse through this forum and the LDD help file to see whether or not this is a documented feature. I couldn't spot anything (though that may simply mean my search wasn't adequate) so I thought I'd identify what I experienced. [aside: this post also gives me the chance to try embedding photos hosted on Google plus).

I'd be interested if someone could let me know whether or not this is a known/document capability of LDD.

Photo 1: screen prior to the click of the mouse wheel:

Photo 2: "mini zoom" window upon clicking the mouse wheel. The mini zoom window moves with the cursor.

Clicking the mouse wheel again removes the mini zoom window.

Apologies in advance if this is known functionality!

Regards,

David

Thats a cool feature, I never knew existed. sadly when I click my mouse wheel it does not do the same.

Thanks for the reply garethjellis. It made me do a little bit more exploring on other applications. It turns out to be a feature of my mouse configuration in Windows and not LDD after all. Via control panel in Windows, I discovered that a click of my mouse's wheel is defined to be "Magnify". So it's not a LDD capability.

Alas ;) it is a good tip though for other Windows LDD builders.

Accidental find or otherwise this a nifty little tip to know.

I've just made the move to a MacBook Pro but this has made me want to find out if handy features like this can be found with its trackpad/keyboard.

Thank you.
