Magnifier Mousetool "Spot-Zoom"

Open jebos opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I often use the colorpicker to zoom into specific parts I want to highlight during a screencast. While this "kind of works", it picks the color and the zoom is not live. Though I wondered if it would be possible to add some live magnifier around the mouse - like the "Find my mouse tool", just allowing to zoom into a spot near the mouse.

I'm aware of the fullscreen zoom built into windows, but that is way to much hasel to handel, esp. during a screencast.

Scenario when this would be used?

Screencasts, Videos. Highlight a specific spot of your screen, but not needing to zoom everything.

Supporting information

There are tools that go half the way.

What do you mean by this? You can activate and de-activate it with a hotkey.

软件操作培训时有这种需求。可以用WIN+=来实现。
