Description Jack 2024-12-03 21:50:13 UTC 
I know the author of the documentation has some control over relative font sizes, but I would love as a user to be able to zoom in or out while using khelpcenter - similar to how I can type Ctl+ or Ctl- in most browsers.

KHelpCenter Version 6.0.24081
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.7.3
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2024-12-03 23:45:04 UTC 
You can Ctrl+mouse wheel to zoom in/out.

Is that enough?
Comment 2 Jack 2024-12-03 23:48:16 UTC 
Yes, that works fine.  I'll accept either leaving this as a wishlist for keyboard equivalent, for closing it as not worth the effort.  Not sure why I didn't think about trying it - I suppose I'm too stuck with thinking keyboard and not touch or mouse.
Comment 3 John Kizer 2024-12-15 07:52:52 UTC 
Updated the title here, as the Ctrl+mouse wheel-only approach means there is not currently a way to zoom in / increase font size using the keyboard, including via the menus.
