Inspector - adjust font-size?

odamizu · 01-02-2020, 04:13 PM

Greetings!

Is there a way to adjust the font-size of the Code View Inspector (make text bigger), either through settings or a custom stylesheet? I've dug through what settings I could find and Googled around, but my self-help efforts have fallen short.

Note: this is not a feature request — this is simply me asking if I'm missing something here

Thank you

According Chrome docs, using Cmd +/- should work. I have not tried it but QtWebEngine is basically a wrappered Chrome

On my Windows machine, CTRL +/- works in the Chrome Dev Tools window, but not in the Sigil Inspector window.

Could be the zoom keyboard code interferes?

Everything I've seen says Chrome? ... sure. QWebEngine? ... not so much.

Cmd/Ctrl +/- does not appear to work in Sigil for macOS either (though it works in Chrome).

Not a biggie. I don't actually use Inspector. I was simply checking it out since it's been mentioned recently in a few threads. Thank you

I spent some time looking at it and there are many css files that are tightly packed inside a Chrome .pak file inside Qt. So user changes would not be easy. That said, the Inspector is just a QWebEngineView so I will implement Zoom in it as I did Preview. That way you will be able to use that same key sequence to make everything larger.

I need it for my own eyes so I assume others will as well.

I will try to get that in place this weekend if I get some free time.

Sounds great! Thank you!

I'm rather baffled by Inspector, but very interested in trying to learn how to use it. The zoom feature will be welcome to my aging eyes.

Zoom would also be welcome in PageEdit's Inspector — not that I use that much either, just fiddling around with all the new stuff

ETA: I must admit I am really fascinated by PageEdit. The ability to open an unzipped epub by opening the opf with PageEdit is really cool.

Okay, just pushed support for this to master.

In the Inspector now (this is hard coded since the Inspector has its own key shortcuts we can not change)

Ctrl + "+" now does a zoom in
Ctrl + "-" now does a zoom out
Ctrl + "0" now does a zoom reset

I will push similar changes to PageEdit's Inspector later today hopefully.

Okay, I did something similar for the PageEdit Inspector.
The problem is those key sequences are used to zoom the main Window in PageEdit and the Inspector is just a QDockWidget in PageEdit (not a top level dialog).

Therefore in order to allow the normal key sequence to zoom the Main Window, and still independently zoom the Inspector, I changed the Inspector in PageEdit to respond to

META + "+" to zoom in
META + "-" to zoom out
META + "0" to zoom reset.

This allows the user to independently zoom the Inspector and the MainWindow in PageEdit.

At some point, PageEdit may need to have a KeyBoard ShortCut Preferences of its own just to allow the user to change things, but for right now, that is low on my priority.

Many Windows and Linux users won't know what a META is.

if it maps to the Windows Key then be aware that Windows itself uses Windows Key + '+' to invoke its Magnifier - which is the most irritating gadget I know of

.

On a mac it maps to the option key. What would be safer to use on Windows given Ctrl +, Ctrl -, and Ctrl 0 are already taken?

BetterRed · 01-04-2020, 06:20 PM

See ==>> Keyboard shortcuts in Windows - Windows Help

Ctrl/Shift/+, Ctrl/Shift/-, and Ctrl/Shift/0 should be OK.

Now I have no excuse not to try to learn how to use Inspector in both programs

Not sure if this is peculiar to me and my Mac, but META is mapped to the Control key rather the Option key on my Mac (which I never changed as I don't know how). So this is what I'm getting:

PageEdit Main WYSIWYG window:

Command + "=" to zoom in
Command + "-" to zoom out
Command + "0" to zoom reset

PageEdit Inspector window:

Control + Shift + "=" to zoom in — (it took me a while to figure out "+" is actually Shift + "=" )
Control + "-" to zoom out
Control + "0" to zoom reset

Chrome Developer window:

Command + "=" OR Command + Shift + "=" to zoom in
Command + "-" OR Command + Shift + "-"to zoom out
Command + "0" to zoom reset

Sigil Preview window:

Command + "=" to zoom in
Command + "-" to zoom out
Command + "0" to zoom reset

Sigil Inspector window:

Command + Shift + "=" to zoom in
Command + "-" to zoom out
Command + "0" to zoom reset
