Easier way to change fonts?

Post by NJC »

To change the document font you must: View > Document Properties > font, and then select.

It would be nice to be able to change the font, or its size or color, more quickly, say in a font-select window on a toolbar (as in most word processors, or as in the dialog box to post a message on this forum). Is there a way to do that?

If not, the next best thing would be to have a single toolbar button open up the font select dialog box. How can I make a toolbar button to do that? (I've even tried to define a Macro to do it, but that is not allowed. Anyway you can't assign a macro to a toolbar button).

A (just slightly) faster method would be Alt-Enter, Ctrl-Tab-Tab-Tab. Other than that is not possible at this moment, AFAIK. But feel free to post an Enhancement Suggestion in the appropriate forum.

enable CTRL-scroll please

Most browsers and a few other things change the font size when you hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel. This is very useful.

I'd like that as part of the ability to reassign mouse actions the same way we reassign keyboard ones. I have one of the "3l33t 6@mr meece" (elite gamer mouse) with 5 buttons and a scroll wheel that wiggles from side to side, most of which do nothing useful in TextPad. I'm aware that they don't necessarily have a clean API in Windows, but at least the scroll wheel should. Any extra functionality or configurability in this area would be greatly appreciated.
