Title: Remapping zoom in and out keys
Post by: Arn De Gothia on March 21, 2012, 09:18:28 am
I play on a mac laptop w/o a number pad. How do I remap the + and - keys so i can zoom out when I play w/o and extra keyboard? Please don't just post "buy a pc". I have one, but I play on mac when I'm traveling.
Thanks

Mac users don't deserve zoom in/out features

Well I have no idea Arn.
I play on a mac laptop, but with external keyboard and in win7 in bootcamp. So it's a pc by most standards..
And I want to slap Vibe for being mean to new forumers. SLAP!

Hey Materia, the laptop was a gift. But please continue to be a raging asshole.

I have the same problem but on a Windows PC. AFAIK there is no way to remap the keys in game. You would probably have to use some kind of 3rd party software but I could never be bothered.

Agree with the "fuck mac" posters.
There's literally no reason to buy a mac other than because "you like them". I'm pretty sure every program that was "mac specific" has been ported to Windows.
Not to mention you can't just go to newegg.com or your local computer store and buy some hardware to upgrade for it.
In conclusion, fuck apple.

Macs are nice tbh. Good resource managing, good filesystem, good usability, lets you do everything you want (unlike windows)...
All the advantages of UNIX based OSes, without the headaches (usually). The only downside is the fucked up prices.

Compatibility isn't an issue :rolleyes: Being able to build your own PC is great, being able to upgrade is even better. Monopolies are great for competitive prices.

Holy shit guys, this isn't about pc vs mac. But congratulations, argue about something IN THE BEGINNER'S HELP SECTION. Please post if you have relevant help. Also, fn + - didn't work. Thank you for the suggestion.

might be a way to change a particular key's function thru the keyboard menu in sys prefs, about only thing I can think of that doesnt involve buying hardware (different keyboard, gamepad, etc)
