For anyone wondering, the zoom feature doesn't seem to exist for MacOS storyboards :( See discussion here

You can zoom in and out by pinching on your trackpad.

You can also use ⌘+⌥+{ and ⌘+⌥+} to zoom in and out.

Zooming was a bit kludgey in Xcode 6 (pinch-zoom worked best for me), but it looks like zooming has changed for the better in Xcode 7.

In Xcode 7, if you want to zoom your storyboard you can simply use ⌘++ to zoom in, and ⌘+- to zoom out.

BTW, this is the same key combination Apple uses to zoom in/out in Safari and other apps.

This is one of the sloppiest keyboard shortcuts, implemented by Apple. To get } you must hit shift, but hitting shift is a system-wide command to slow animations. I really recommend changing the shortcut in preferences.

In my experience, in Xcode 6, the best way to zoom in/out in xib is using the new Preview feature in assistant editor, you can just use touch pad to do normal pinch in/out to do zoom.

It's possible to zoom out on storyboard, as always.

Edit: Right-click (or ctrl-click) on an empty area of your storyboard to show a contextual menu.
