Zooming

You can zoom in on or out from the script in a couple of ways.

To Zoom In

Move your mouse pointer over the area you want to zoom in on, and press the plus key (+) repeatedly until the workspace displays the script at the desired scale.

OR

Press Alt and drag right while holding down the middle mouse button.

To Zoom Out

Move your mouse pointer over the area you want to zoom out from, and press the minus key (-) repeatedly until the workspace displays the script at the desired scale.

OR

Press Alt and drag left while holding down the middle mouse button.

NOTE:  On Linux, Alt+middle drag may zoom the entire Nuke window instead of the Node Graph. This is default functionality on Gnome. To get around it, you can use the (Windows) key instead of Alt when zooming.
Alternatively, you can change your window preferences on Gnome to fix the problem:
1. Select Applications > Preferences > Windows to open the Window Preferences dialog.
2. Under Movement Key, select Super (“or Windows logo”).
You should now be able to zoom in and out of the Node Graph with Alt+middle drag.

To Fit Selected Nodes in the Node Graph

To fit selected nodes in the Node Graph, click the middle mouse button or press F.

To Fit the Node Tree in the Node Graph

To fit the entire node tree in the Node Graph, click on the Node Graph to make sure no nodes are selected and click the middle mouse button or press F.
