I am trying extraterm and absolutely love its unique features. Thank you for public this awesome software!

However, I would love to have some shortcuts to zoom in/out (+/-/0). I love splitting/unsplitting when I was using terminator and as a result I need change the font sizes very often. Also, if you consider implementing this, I suggest you use different font sizes for each tabs.

Thank you!

I'm glad to hear you like the unique features. Unique features are what I'm trying to explore.

Font sizing is a feature I intend to have. There already is a setting for font size for the whole application, and per tab sizing as a shortcut is also a possibility.

Another possibility is sizing on a per frame basis. When I get around to scripting features I want to be able to make it possible to set the font size based on the command being executed. For example, if I start a big compile then I want that output to automatically be made a small font.

I am open to suggestions on this one.

@sedwards2009 Thanks for the prompt reply

Very nice idea you got there, zooming per frame basis would be so useful.
In my opinion, the priority should be:

  • Add changing font size shortcuts for tabs
  • Add changing font size shortcuts for frames, this should work even if the command haven't finished.

About automatically set font sizes, it is cool but I am not sure how practical it is. Firstly, determining a good font size is hard (even for the users themselves) as the same user might change preferences overtime. Additionally, the keyboard shortcuts should make it fast and productive enough.

Thanks.

It is now possible to change the size of the terminal/text font up and down on a per tab basis.

Ctrl-Plus, Ctrl-Minus and Ctrl-Equals are the shortcuts.
