To scroll both vertically and horizontally at the same time
Do one of the following:

µ

Press Shift-Control, click-hold the Arrange window background, then drag it in the desired
direction.

µ

Click-hold the Arrange window background with the third mouse button (the mouse
wheel, for example), then drag in the desired direction.

The distance of the mouse pointer from the initial clicked position determines the scrolling
speed.

Note: This second option only works if you haven’t assigned the third mouse button to
a global command, such as Exposé, for example.

Zooming the Working Area

The zoom controls are used to zoom in and out on the working display area. The zoom
value you choose reduces or increases the size of events or regions in the displayed screen
section. This allows you to:

• See more events or regions in the same amount of screen space (zoom out)

• See a detailed display of events or regions (zoom in)

While zooming, the top-left (and selected) event or region is kept in the visible area of
the screen. In other words, the first selected region or event is retained in the zoomed
window. If no selected region or event is visible, zooming is centered around the playhead.
If the playhead isn’t visible, the current center of the window is retained.

The horizontal and vertical zoom controls are located in the bottom-right corner of the
working area of the window.
