Playing with touchpad laptop
Sins Forums
I want to play this on my laptop, it has no equivalent of a scroll wheel,
How Do I zoom in and out?
Hot keys. Can't remember which ones, but if you go to options menu and then to key bindings you can see/set what you need there. Alternatively you could buy a mouse for your laptop easily.
Caps lock will do an instant zoom. Very useful when you need to rapidly give different units orders to move to different destinations (such as scouts at the start of the game). Unfortunately, caps lock won't zoom in to cursor, so you'll need to click on the planet you want to zoom in on.
If not caps lock, Z/X/C zooms to ship/grav-well/system views instantly.
Why not just get a wireless mouse and keep it in your laptop bag? I can't imagine how difficult it would be to play this with a touchpad. Heck, I don't even like using my laptop for Internet surfing (or whatever else I'm doing) without a mouse.
actually, if you go into the control panel's mouse settings, you should be able to set it up so that a small section on the right side of the touchpad is a scroll section. You'd also probably want to make it so that it functions on mouse-over instead of when the window has focus. I'm not 100% sure this will work, but it's a way you might get the zoom working on the touchpad.
getting a mouse is a good idea though
