New keyboard shortcuts for browser zoom views

[Cath Tyner]

Please welcome the newest additions to the UCSC Genome Browser keyboard shortcuts menu, now providing over 40 shortcuts. To view a menu of shortcuts, simply press the "?" key on your keyboard while on an assembly's browser display page (e.g., GRCh38/hg38 assembly display). The new shortcut set utilizes the keyboard keys 1 - 6 to provide six levels of zoom views for tracks in the browser display, as listed below:

Press "1" to zoom to 50bp (1 zero)
Press "2" to zoom to 500bp (2 zeros)
Press "3" to zoom to 5000bp (3 zeros)
Press "4" to zoom to 50kbp (4 zeros)
Press "5" to zoom to 500kbp (5 zeros)
Press "6" to zoom to 5Mbp (6 zeros)
