Enlarging the font in code view inside Delphi Alexandria 11.2 Professional

[JohnLM 14]

I usually work in low light and it gets a little difficult sometimes to see certain characters when using the dark theme for the IDE.

(Some of the colored fonts like blue/red/green get fuzzy looking under my laptop's 1366x768 screesize) 

 

I thought it would be a quick and simple method of Ctrl+Wheel-up/down, but that did not work. 

 

Is there a quick shortcut to enlarge/decrease the font at will?  TIA.

Hi. To bad that is not available in the Professional version.

What about
 

Ctrl+Num +	Code Editor Context Menu | Increase Font Size	Increases the font size of the Code Editor.
Ctrl+Num -	Code Editor Context Menu | Decrease Font Size	Decreases the font size of the Code Editor.

Nope.  Does not work on my laptop, no "Num" key here.  I also tried Ctrl+ and Ctrl- and still does not work.

Do you have an overlayed numpad accessible via Fn key?
In that case, Does Fn+Ctrl +/- (on the overlay) work?

[JohnLM 14]

No overlay.  I have the Dell Inspiron 5520 15R laptop.  It is the one with the (home/pgup/pgdn/end) keys on the right side.

You must have that Status Bar! I've had it since D11. It's always been there. It's on the bottom edge of the editor window. All the way to the right are tabs like Code, Design and History.
If you don't see it there, you've got a narrow window, panel of editor. Now I've tried it

@stano - this works-thanks, if I shrink the left side pane area for the Object Inspector using the mouse, but I do have to play a bit with it every time I adjust it in order to see the - and + slider.  I am still looking for a keyboard shortcut.

Use Windows magnifier invoked with the windows button with + - keys.  The code window font appears not to alias under magnifier.  Under 195 mag.

 

195% screen copy though copying may not show the actual screen output.
