Is there a way to make the font larger in the Frescobaldi, LilyPond Log?

Thank you,

Yes, you can hover the mouse over the log and use the mouse wheel + control key to change font size. :)

Is there a way to simulate the Wheel?     I use a touchpad. 

Thank you,

There can be yes, but it depends. What hardware are you using? Laptop brand/model? What OS?

I have a Dell that has a Simulated Wheel, touchpad is designed for it  but i do not use that for Frescobaldi.   The touchpad keyboard i am using does not know how many fingers i am using on the pad.   Just thinking there could be so way to set the keys to simulate a wheel.   Probably not.

Thank you,

Hi,

Right. But are you running Windows on that Dell or a Linux flavor? I'm just going to guess and assume Windows.

If so, it's pretty easy to setup an AutoHotKey script to simulate a mouse scroll wheel up/down so that's what I would do if you don't have/can't get access to a mouse.

Windows but i would not have a clue.   I will try to find how.

Thanks you.

No problem, I got you.  :)

Here's what you do:

First, download AutoHotKey.

https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe

Install it, defaults are fine.

Then, download this script to your desktop (it's an .AHK file) - a script that maps the entire NUMPAD to mouse controls.

https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/scripts/NumpadMouse.ahk

(you only need to worry about the scroll options which is NUM add / NUM sub ( + -)

Then, double click the AHK file to "run it". You should see the icon in your tray now.

That's it! :)

Now, if you hold CONTROL + the NUMPAD minus or plus, you can scroll the font size in Frescobaldi log files.

Just tested it, works beautifully.

Just make sure you have SCROLL LOCK for this to work.

When you're finished and the log is the right size, you can always close the script from your tray and go back to whatever you had.

Hope this helps!
