Using this system, you can, for example, set 5 horizontal zoom presets, (1/16th zoom, 1/4 zoom, 1 bar zoom, 4 bar zoom, 16 bar zoom) and then bind hotkeys to the load presets, but I never liked this system in Pro Tools and never really implemented it in REAPER either. Reaper Script amalagma has a number of scripts allowing you to save and recall horizontal and vertical zoom presets. Preset-based Zooming in REAPER (a la Pro Tools): Note: Remember that Right Drag & Middle click mouse modifiers exist in Mouse Mods>Arrange View while Left Drag options are in Mouse Mods>Track. Note: The middle click is just what happens when you click on your mousewheel! Some of you based on your mouse may not have access to this. Restore Previous Zoom level: Again, makes a lot of sense because I don't really press middle click* and the default is set to the same action as left clicking. I also do most of my dragging with LMB, so this just made sense! Marquee Zoom: The reason I changed this mouse modifier is because REAPER changes your mouse cursor icon based on what is assigned to left drag, and not right drag, so when I hold control anywhere on my Track, I get a magnifying glass, signalling to me that I have the right mouse modifier. Hence I think switching these two makes a lot of sense, as I still do go to those DAWs from time to time! Similarly, Command+Option+mousewheel is default hotkey to zoom horizontally in both Pro Tools and Logic Pro X, and quite similar to Ableton's command+Control+Mousewheel. I am so used to this that I do it unintentionally. Any browser, any website and App, and every other DAW I can think of, simply uses mousewheel to scroll up and down. These were among the first actions I re-assigned in REAPER, because the default make little sense in my opinion. The make all the same adjustment to a selected subset of all visible tracks.

These are two commands you would find in Pro Tools, and I've bound them to the same hotkeys of Command+Control+Up/Down. Increase/Decrease Selected Track Heights: Overall, I found the existence of automation lanes to throw the default actions off slightly! The action itself is more robust as well, as it works for multiple items on multiple tracks, and takes whether automation lanes are visible or not into account. Z also is a good way to remember that this Zooms. This binding made sense to me because Pressing _ with one hand is rather impossible, so I like to make most of my hotkeys possible to press using my left hand. I replaced the default REAPER command which is bound to Command+- aka _ with this SWS action, also changing the binding to control+Shift+Z. The SWS action always fills the screen with the tracks selected, and adjust each track's height as your selected track counts get higher to make sure they all fit! (Works up to about 30 tracks depending on Theme settings, etc.)

The default action doesn't utilize the full height of the arrange window when selecting one or two tracks, and doesn't fit all tracks to screen on higher-count track selections. I replaced the default REAPER command of the same name to this SWS equivalent, using the same hotkey of Shift+1 aka ! SWS: Vertical zoom to selected tracks, minimize others: All you need to do is replace Command with Control, Option with Alt, and Control with Windows.

Mac to PC Action translation: All the same defaults exist in PC. I'll explain why I replaced the ones I replaced in a second: Here's a list of all the commands I covered in the video.

I found a few of the REAPER defaults in this area to be less than perfect, and with some customization and a bit of SWS actions action, you can really optimize your zooming! In this episode, we're gonna be looking at a few preferences, Hotkeys and Mouse Modifiers all related to zooming! It's not the sexiest of all subjects, but the larger your projects get, the more important it becomes to be able to quickly navigate through them.
