Quickly Adjust Font Size in KDE

Just Hit Ctrl + Scroll up or down with your mouse wheel and you'll increase or decrease the font size. Pretty handy when you want to show something to someone behind you, for instance or when font size is too small to read.

Thanks, javierrivera! I was reading your comment in Firefox, thinking, "I didn't know that." So immediately I pressed Ctrl and scrolled with the mouse wheel and Whoa! that's the fastest font zoom I've ever seen!

A quick way to get back to default zoom is to hit Ctrl-0 (Ctrl-zero), at least in Firefox.

Cheers, -Blair

Works also in Opera. And Opera zooms the pictures too not just the text.

Quote: Sous KDE, le sens dans lequel on tourne la roulette pour faire grossir les caractères est inversé par rapport à Mozilla Firefox.quote Et quand on est dans Firefox sous KDE, dans quel sens faut-il tourner la molette ?

Avec le + et - aussi avec le ctrl.... ;-)

Personnellement je préfère CTRL + ou bien CTRL - La molette et CTRL, ne donne rien sous KDE/Spring

In English, CTRL+ and CTRL- does the same.
