Is it possible to zoom the GUI in Ableton without constantly going into preferences via a shortcut or maybe an alternative with a macro and a mouse button?

It was clear to me that someone would recommend such a video to me, which is why I added the screenshot and the term GUI. That's not the zooming I mean but thank you

Sorry, but I don't speak German

I suppose you could change your screen resolution. Maybe you could explain what it is you want to zoom in and out of that isn't covered in the video?

Sorry for that. I assumed that it is clear though posting my german screenshot

Now I added an english screenshot. I want to zoom the Graphic User Interface of Ableton in and out and not the clips or tracks. The whole "look and feel" of Ableton. I am using a widescreen monitor and when I am using Abletons Analog for example I want to make it on the fly bigger when doing my sound without constantly going into the settings menue

I know that you can zoom in and out with pinch gestures on a touch display but unfortunately I do not have one

Maybe a macro can do wonder? I hoped maybe someone in the forum found a clever solution

You were clear enough, German screen cap or no, in what you asked about. Sadly, there is no way other than the dialog as far as I know.

Ok, thank you! I hope Ableton will make a shortcut in a future update.

OP if you're on Mac you can enable zoom using control + mouse wheel or trackpad.

Obviously it's not the best solution but maybe it's better than having to go to the settings back and forth.

Are you sure about that? I don't get anything when I use control. I can zoom the timeline with command, scroll with shift, and change the height of tracks with option, but that's it. A setting somewhere?

The OP is talking about interface scaling, display zoom.

Shortcut for screen zoom in Ableton Suite 11?
