§ 19 - Keystrokes used in WinImages F/x
F/x supports a number of keystrokes to aid the user. F/x also follows all Windows keystroke conventions for selecting and sending dialog controls.
Keystrokes are detected only when a View window is active. Dialogs consume all keystrokes, and so none of these commands work when a dialog is active.
Keystrokes here are generally in alphabetic order. Be sure to look through them all, as functions that are related are not grouped on this page.

1 - Zoom in 10% in a view
2 - Zoom in 20% in a view
