Shortcut of zooming out in Windows in Parallels Desktop

[TieC]

I have a french keyboard. I try to use Windows 10 via Parallels Desktop under Mac.

In Mac, in Chrome we use "cmd + =" and "cmd + -" to zoom in and zoom out. It is the same in VS Code.

But in Windows, it does not work well:

1) in Chrome, "control + -" can zoom in, whereas I have not found the shortcut to zoom out.

2) in VS Code, "control + -" can zoom in, whereas I have not found the shortcut to zoom out. In the setting it is written that the shortcut for zooming out is "control + NumPad_Subtract", but what is the key?

Could anyone help?

Hi TieC
The NumPad is the extra area on a keyboard that looks some what like a calculator

I am using a french keyboard in MacBook Pro, there is no NumPad... So what should I do?
Eg, is there a way to map that key to another key (via Parallels Desktop)?

I am not sure if the - sign in the upper number is the same as the one in the num pad.

I will give it a try on my computer. (if it is I will let you know)

because I am not using a laptop without a num-pad but I found an explanation that may provide numpad input by holding a modifier key https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_keypad
if you are able to bring up the num-pad use the key mapping instructions from above to use the keys you have readily available.

Thank you for this...
`Fn` (the modifier key) does not seem to work on my French Laptop keyboard under Parallels Desktop. I tried eg, `Ctrl + Fn + -` in VS Code in Windows in Parallels Desktop, it did not zoom out.

have you tried to use the virtual keyboard preferences>keyboard>check Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar this will cause the keyboard you selected to appear on the screen (the only thing I am not sure of is will it provide the keyboard you are looking for, for me this is my key board, I will look for a hard wired one with out extra num pad to see if that changes my options.)

With my keyboard disconnected and the ABC - Azerty keyboard selected I get this on screen keyboard to use with my mouse

You should be able to map your keyboard preferences using the http://kb.parallels.com/en/122936 instruction from above and the virtual keyboard
