PCs without mouse wheels

Hi guys,

I travel a lot so I always carry a build of BG on my laptop. Of course, being a fairly basic unit, it doesn't have a mouse wheel, only a pad underneath the keys.

I was just wondering how the zoom feature works for those of us playing the PC version without mouse wheels.

I've trawled the forum but I can't find a reference (sorry in advance if I've missed it..!)

    I think most modern laptops treat two finger drag on the trackpad as a zoom in/out.

    On my laptop its a lateral pinch to zoom in, and the reverse to zoom out.

    Amazing - thanks guys. I had assumed it would be something like that, but just wanted to be sure!

    ...now I can zoom in to see the eyes that Boo is going for :-D

    I hope there's going to be a keyboard alternative to the mousewheel, such as the plus and minus buttons. Otherwise, I won't be able to use it. I have a trackball mouse with no mouse wheel.

    Pinch to zoom on Macs and iPads in right?... =)
