Description Xavier Hourcade 2012-09-10 13:04:23 UTC

Wish: Zoom view font using Ctrl+Mouse

Changing font is currently a little heavy (several clicks, select a font, Apply to test until good).
It is an sight adjustment need, which may depend on the real light in the room at a given time, etc.

Konsole offers this, Kate offers this, Okular offers this... then in the "other" World, Firefox offers this, Thunderbird Chrome offers this, etc etc. :) Hence, Ctrl+Mouse feels a very natural way to adjust text (and its absence in Konv may be perceived as a limitation).

In contrast with most other apps, in Konversation I don't think there any need to have per-chan property : it's a global view requirement, still (one change, all chans affected).

Comment 1 Xavier Hourcade 2012-09-11 01:54:28 UTC

(...from "the other part" of my notes ^^...)

"Common" keyboard shortcuts, icon and menu actions would make sense also :
  [Ctrl] [+] Enlarge Font
  [Ctrl] [-] Shrink Font
  [Ctrl] [0] Reset Font (see below)
NB. In the absence of a classic "View" menu, actions could be placed under "Edit" or "Window" menu ?

1. Without a Reset Font action, Shrink/Enlarge could directly modify the existing Konv' Font Size value -- as currently accessible under Settings > Configure > Font > Size. This value could be saved while quitting the application, just like if the User had changed it via the UI (as it stands now). Simpler and easier ?

2. If a Reset Font action was implemented, the *default* value to apply, could be -- either :
  a. the existing Konv pref, in which case the modified value would be lost when quitting Konv ?
or
  b. the KDE Setting pref, in which case the modified value would be stored as the Konv pref ?

My personal preference would go for 2.a), otherwise 1)
