a few mins ago i found a very nice feature i didnt know until now! just start your jaPBe and load a source.... Now hold down the left Strg (function) key and move your mouse wheel! Very nice! Cool, to know...

It is true for many Windows applications: Word, Adobe Reader, etc...

it even works on linux
Firefox, Konqueror etc. are using this feature too...

For about 1 Year I encountered exactly this thing a few times without knowing that it was Strg + MouseWheel - so I thought it was a Bug! I didn't post anythig about it, because I couldn't find the reason nor reproduce it!

!!!WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WRITE IT IN THE MANUAL!!!

i think its something standard like hotkeys "strg+c" "strg+v" "strg+d" "strg+esc" and so on...

Nifty!

As I said:

P L E A S E add it to the Manual!!! Or the FAQ or whatever!!!

Thanks

I held down the left Ctrl (Control) key and middle mouse button-scroll wheeled and sure enough... the text go'eth larger and the text go'eth smaller!

Thanks for the tip. It never dawned on me to try this in jaPBe.

*thumbs up*

It's a windows feature.... If your mouse has a scroll wheel it should work in many apps...

Try it on your web browser (any) or in a PDF...

It's also quite handy for OpenOfice or MS Office documents
