How to enlarge a page

Unread post by lakemono » 2017-07-03, 00:29

You used to be able to enlarge a page view by using the + sign or - sign on the Pale Moon menu bar. This feature disappeared years ago. My eyesight gets poorer with age, and this feature was very helpful. What can be done about bringing this feature back?

On the toolbar, go to View >> Zoom. If you want to enlarge text only, make sure to check "Zoom Text Only" beforehand.

You can also get those icons back on the toolbar by clicking an empty spot on the toolbar and selecting Customize. In the window that appears, drag the zoom controls - / + wherever you want them on the menu bar, then click Done.

I had the same requirement and found Key Config
http://keyconfig.petricek.net/
(it might be on Mozilla's site but that's not loading atm).

It adds an item to the Tools menu and as standard it has:
9 to zoom in
3 to zoom out
0 for default size
also
1 for previous tab
2 for next tab
z to go back
x to go forward

other preferences can be chosen.

Keyboard shortcuts already in Pale Moon:
Ctrl + : Zoom In
Ctrl - : Zoom Out
Ctrl 0 : reset zoom to 100% (that's a number zero)

Mouse shortcuts:
Ctrl Scrollwheel-up : Zoom In
Ctrl Scrollwheel-down : Zoom Out

And as HelloIMustBeGoing already explained, you can get the [+] and [-] controls in your user interface by customizing your toolbars and dragging the controls where you want them.

Yes I recommend it. You can store zoom factors by site and temporarily revert to a different one. Zoom 130% works nicely for me (in combination with proper glasses, a proper eye-to-screen distance and a proper font choice, see "Overcoming presbyopia" in http://sax.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/W ... indow.html)

FYI: Pale Moon automatically saves zoom levels per site. If you don't like current level change it and it will be remembered the next time.

I use Zoom page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... zoom-page/) which shows you your current zoom and allows you to tweak the zoom levels
