Hi all,
Emacs has keybindings to change the font size in the current buffer (C-x C-=,
etc which use text-scale-adjust). We don't have keybindings for commands to
change the font size globally, and in fact we don't have commands for that
purpose at all, AFAICT.
My students keep running into this issue, and it seems pretty common online,
too:
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18783227/emacs-zoom-in-out-globally
-
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24705984/increase-decrease-font-size-in-an-emacs-frame-not-just-buffer
- https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/dip6e6/zoom_in_zoom_out/
… and there are many libraries that reimplement solutions to this issue:
- https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/zoom-frm.el
- https://practicalli.github.io/spacemacs/install-spacemacs/change-font.html
- https://github.com/purcell/default-text-scale
- https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GlobalTextScaleMode
- https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetFonts#ZoomFrame
I'm sure many more people have custom code for this (I do). Not all the
implementations are good, and it would be very nice if such a feature were
available out of the box.
Currently mouse-wheel-text-scale is bound to C-<mouse-5> and C-<mouse-4>; could
we have an equivalent command for all buffers, maybe on C-S-<mouse-5> and
C-S-<mouse-4>?
Clément.
