Hotkey to toggle between 2 custom font sizes?
Can we get a hotkey to toggle between 2 custom font sizes?
Example, I normally use font size 14. But sometimes I would switch to font size 8, to see more text on screen. It would be convenient to have a hotkey to quickly toggle between the two.

use the "fixed" and "proportional" font buttons
Re: Hotkey to toggle between 2 custom font sizes?
but problem is, i already use that feature for its intended purpose. it would be useful to have toggle font sizes as an additional feature.

sorry there's nothing else available

Isn't this why people hold <Ctrl> while using the scrollwheel? Not as precise as presets, true, but it's quicker than anything else.
Re: Hotkey to toggle between 2 custom font sizes?
cool! I knew this worked in internet browsers but i didn't imagine the trusty richedit control would offer it too!

One of the benefits of having bad eyesight is that you learn to find these tricks wherever you can. Just wait until you too go to wrack-and-ruin disgracefully.

that's cool, but unfortunately it's still slower than having a quick toggle button for 2 frequent sizes.

Interestingly, <Ctr> '+'/'-' does not work for me in ed2 (x64), though those accelerators work just fine for other programmes (NP++, Firefox, PDF, blah blah blah).
Whereas the scrollwheel method works fine in ed2.
Perhaps Nikos' RichEdit control isn't as wealthy as it should be (a common problem with finances).

Curiously, Neither <Ctrl> '+'/'-' nor <Ctrl>+<scrollwheel> work for me in ed2 (x64), though those accelerators work just fine for other programs (NP++, Chrome, PDF, blah blah blah).

ctrl +/- doesn't work. RightPaddock offered advice from web browsers without testing it.

Works for me in Firefox and Chrome, I use them frequently - see attachment. And apparently it works for nikosTsunamiZ wrote:ctrl +/- doesn't work. RightPaddock offered advice from web browsers without testing it.
Why not use another text editor , there's nothing special about the X2editor - apart from the fact that it lacks the ability to adjust the font size <sigh>nikos wrote:cool! I knew this worked in internet browsers but i didn't imagine the trusty richedit control would offer it too!
sorry about the width, I would have thought a fancy new board would show a thumb
