[SOLVED] Zoom 100%

[boddhi]

Would it be possible to have a menu item (in menu Edition ?) like 'Zoom/View or Display 100%' to return to a normal display size when this has been modified?
It would be quicker and easier than playing with the mouse wheel.

UNNECESSARY REQUEST !!!

Go to File menu/Settings/General/Shortcuts/Zoom default

Faster to use keyboard
CTRL + / (slash in numpad) = normal zoom
CTRL + or - = Zoom + or -
(like many browsers, except normal zoom = CTRL + 0)

Salut Marc,

You're right. I also use CTRL +/-, but more in situations where both hands are already on the keyboard, which saves me a lot of unnecessary mouse movements (yes, I'm an old boomer who's known computers without mouses and 'la frappe au kilomètre', so the less I use them the better I feel! ).
Nevertheless, in certain situations, you already have the mouse in your hand and it's actually quicker to use CTRL + Mouse wheel.

In short, if the PB team don't think my suggestion is silly, it would be cool to give us the option of reverting to a normal display size. Then, free to us to configure the call as we want : button, keyboard shortcut, etc.

PB Team, thanks in advance

I think, this is a Scintilla function, so maybe PB IDE coders can (easily?) add this

SCI_SETZOOM(0) ?

This can be added as a tool

Thanks to all.

While waiting for an official version (because it's not multi-OS and Windows only) :

Code: Select all

; Start code
SendMessage_(Val(GetEnvironmentVariable("PB_TOOL_Scintilla")),#SCI_SETZOOM,0,0)
; End code

 
 
Create executable and then, menu Tools/Configure tools...


Note : After this, we can also create a toolbar button via Menu File/Settings/Toolbar

both hands are already on the keyboard

So just press Ctrl+0 and it's back to 100%. (Like Marc56us said).

If it's a question, yes !
But, of course, you can choose any other shortcut you want
Note : First '0' in SendMessage (wParam) is the scale (in points) to zoom. It's recommended to use a value between '-10' and '20'

[BarryG]

I'm not talking about using a tool. The IDE already natively goes back to 100% when you press Ctrl+0. No tools or SendMessages or Scintilla hacks needed.

[boddhi]

Oupps, you're right !!!! I didn't seen it in Settings/Shortcuts.

I had tested CTRL + NUMPAD + 0 which had no effect ! And for good reason, it wasn't the good '0'.
And as there's no equivalent menu item, I thought this function didn't exist!

[boddhi]

Interesting fact : On my 102-key azerty keyboard, zoom in works with both '+' keys but not zoom out, which only works with the '-' key on the numeric keypad.

CTRL + /

(The slash ('/') on numpad on my keyboard 105)

[boddhi]

CTRL + /

Thanks Marc, it works for me too !
