    Basically I am far from my laptop screen sometimes. I want to zoom in with my BT keyboard or mouse in desktop mode so I can read from afar.

    how do I do it? Do I need a BT keyboard with a trackpad? Even my regular trackpad does not zoom in or out when I try to pinch.

    you could try pressing Ctrl and turning the mouse wheel up or down.
