  1. Best Answer

    Gala has a zoom plugin that is installed by default.

    Default shortcuts are:

    Super+ Super- to zoom in and out.

    To check or modify the set values, have a look at org.pantheon.desktop.gala.keybindings.

  2. Try this one

    sudo apt-get install xzoom

    The usage is very simple, and exactly what I wanted:

    • start in terminal xzoom.

    • place the window where it does not disturb you.

    • "drag" you mouse cursor from within the window to the spot of the screen you want to magnify.

    I found this HERE answer no 2, I don't know if elementary uses compiz so no 1 might not be valid.
