readability in the Preview inspector

I find the Preview's inspector difficult to read. The font size is rather small.

The zoom button, bottom right, works fine for the Preview and Code View depending on which has focus but not for the inspector.

In the inspector settings, I haven't found any font size adjustments.

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

The Inspector is a built-in construct of QtWebEngine (Chrome). As such, we don't have any real control over its appearance. That said, I've never really noticed a huge discrepancy between Sigil's font size and the Inspector's on my Linux and Windows machines. Let me poke around.

Ctrl+/Ctrl- increases/decreases the font size in the inspector on my Linux machine (when inspector has focus).

That internal zoom setting seems to stays in effect for that Sigil session, but it does not seem to persist after Sigil is restarted.

The inspector is basically a browser, so the same shortcuts for zooming in and out apply.

Stupid me !!! I didn't think 'browser'. Ctrl + or - works fine on linux as does Ctrl & scrollwheel on the trackball. CmdShift+ and Cmd- on the MacBook (which is where I was having a problem.

Thanks DiapDealer.
