Aspect ratio vs Zoom?

[Earlybite]

Hi,

I have a monitor with 21:9 and in Settings I found shortcuts for

Zoom+ == inc_zoom == E
Zoom- == dec_zoom == w
Reset == reset_zoom == SHIFT+e
AutoZoom == auto_zoom == SHIFT+w
Zoom16:9 == zoom_169 == SHIFT+a
Zoom2,35:1 == zoom_235 == SHIFT+s

because I want to use a 21:9 size for videos.

The issue:
When I right click with the mouse on on Video->Aspect Ratio->2,35:1 then the video fits.
<https://latestsolution.com/change-aspect-ratio-in-smplayer/>
And this is needed every time for a new video...

But when I use the shortcut zoom_235 the video does not fit, it is too big.

Is there a difference between Settings->Video->Aspect Ratio->2.35:1 and zoom_235?
Can I set a shortcut to use the same function as with the mouse to get the aspect ratio of 2.35:1?

TIA and
best regards

If I remember correctly zoom 2.35 assumes that a movie in a 2.35:1 aspect is embedded in a 4:3 letterbox and zooms the image to cut off the black borders.

Aspect Ratio->2.35:1 resizes the image to make it a 2.35 aspect ratio.

Hi,

I found at least for what I was searching for...
In Settings->Pref->Keyboard&Mouse I found an entry aspect_2.35:1. I added to this entry a short cut, e.g. SHIFT+K, and all is fine.

Thanks a lot,
best regards

Ah, it works. Thank you very much!
Now *most* of YouTube videos are a little stretched, but it's ok so far...
