How to zoom in with a mouse?

I'm using MBP and external monitor, keyboard and mouse. I'd like to be able to zoom in the text in Safari. Safari keyboard shortcuts for zooming text areCommand +/-. I would like to use Ctrl+scrolling with the mouse. This works in Windows 7 for instance.

Currently, Ctrl+scrolling is zooming the entire screen, not text.

Can I zoom text in Safari using a mouse?


  • To zoom inside safari you can use 2 fingers pinching in the trackpad.
  • 2 fingers tap will zoom so the text fits the safari window.
  • Also a single finger double tap in the mighty mouse does the same trick. (not double click)

If you want even more ways to do stuff with your mouse I know about this software called MagicPrefs that I used for quite some time and loved it. There is also a similar software called BetterTouchTool.
