Command-option-8 toggles zoom on and off. More details can be found in System Preferences --> Universal Access --> Seeing.
Holding down control and scrolling with your trackpad (the two finger scroll thing) achieves the same result as comand-option-+. That's probably what you did without intending to.

It'll likely be tough for us to figure what happened if it's fixed now...unless someone with a bright idea comes along. I can't think of what it was if it was zoom. It wasn't dock magnification, was it?

That shouldn't matter... ctrl on an external keyboard, and scrolling with a scroll wheel on an external mouse will do the same thing. What you're describing sounds exactly like the screen zoom function in OS X.
EDIT: Did it look like this? (the one with the red outline is the original screen shot, the background is the zoomed shot) Make sure to click it so that you're viewing the full image not just the resized one.

it's a new feature in 10.4.8, this question was answered in a thread a week ago. I don't know what thread it was though.Liebo11 said:
