Inspector - adjust font-size? - Page 2

I thought Chrome worked with + and - as that is what a google search said. If it instead uses = and -, I can modify both Sigil and PageEdit to match.

Maybe Chrome on Windows uses + and - ? I don't know. I've never actually used the Inspector in any app (Chrome, Sigil, PageEdit) until today. Just reporting what's happening on my Mac.

While + and - has a logic to it, = and - is more finger-friendly as it only requires 2 keys rather than 3, and also matches Sigil Preview window and PageEdit WYSIWYG window. But no big deal either way. Thank you!

Chrome on Windows responds to both ctrl - and ctrl _ to decrease the font size, and ctrl = and ctrl + to increase the font size. So holding shift doesn't matter (good for laziness??). Edge Dev (Chromium) also works the same way - it responds to all four combinations. Old Edge just responds to ctrl - and ctrl = and somewhat confusingly ignores ctrl +. Firefox responds to ctrl - only for decrease, and ctrl = and ctrl + for increase.

So ... yay consistenancy.

Is it easy to use both - and _ for decrease and = and + for increase?

This is on Windows 10 BTW.

Ha! I didn't think to try it both ways. It's the same on Mac, except instead of the Control key, on Mac it's the Command key.
