slash and backslash

Sharmin asked me if there was a gradual way of zooming in and out in Stellarium, as opposed to using the slash and backslash keys. You bet.

I suggested she use Page Up or Page Down instead or the rollerwheel on a mouse, if available!

I reminded her that I have all Stellarium 0.10.5 keyboard shortcuts documented...

Only problem was, MacBook do not have PgUp / PgDown keys! I had to figure out that on Mac:
PgUp =  fn + up arrow
PgDn =  fn + down arrow
Now I know and can zoom in/out gradually, thanks!

Also try the Shift key with those shortcuts. It might yield an even smoother zoom...

Shift key didn't work but command key did! It's not smoother though, same as using fn key. Tried it just now.
