Plugin: Font Size Shortcut

Font Size Shortcut

Overview

This plugin adds shortcuts to increase/decrease Editor (markdown only) Font size

Name Default Shortcut
Increase Editor Font Size CmdOrCtrl+Shift+]

These shortcuts can be modified from Keyboard Shortcuts section.


Session

Hello makb,

I have installed the plugin (twice; and restarted, of course) as usual, but neither are there new buttons or new menu commands in the tools menu or any new commands in the keyboard shortcuts section.

I do see the plugin in the plugin list in the options, and I see the .jpl in the joplin-desktop folder, but that's about it; there is no functionality.

Any suggestions what I could have overlooked or done wrong?

Good morning,
I would like to repeat my question from April 13; I still have no clue how the "Font Size Shortcut" plugin works.

When checking Joplin's command palette in the Tools menu, it lists both commands:

  • Decrease Editor Font Size (decreaseFontSize) and
  • Increase Editor Font Size (increaseFontSize),

and clicking on them directly also does what I expect. However, I do not see any way to access these comands anywhere else, and certainly not as described in the description of the plugin; i.e. new commands in the tools menu, keyboard shortcut in the options etc.

What am I missing here?

Regards,
kai.

Hi Kai,
I don't think you missed anything. I've experienced the same issue you mentioned. Upon checking GitHub, it seems that this plugin was developed two years ago and hasn't received any updates since. It's possible that with recent updates of Joplin, the plugin no longer functions totally as described, or at least the 2 buttons on the menu disappeared. It would be helpful to hear from the developer to confirm it, if they are still active on the forum, and if there are any plans to address this issue.

Hey there, Kai and Eduardo!

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been actively maintaining the plugin, but I will test the plugin on the latest version of Joplin and let you know.

Thank you for informing!

I'm running Joplin 2.13.13 with this plugin v1.0.0 and everything is as advertised. Two buttons on the menu bar and two choices on the Tools menu and they all work.

Thanks for checking. Maybe the problem is related to other plugins installed or the latest prerelease Joplin version/ OS that I have. Joplin 3.0.3 (prod, linux)

Thanks also from me for the feedback.

Unfortunately, unlike @HarSel I am running 2.14.20 under linux and would appreciate a quick check that it should and will also work in this environment.
If it does, then that probably leaves only the plugins as perpetrators which will make a tedious search ...

Atenciosamente,
kai.

Here's what I'm running

Joplin 2.13.13 (prod, win32)

Sync Version: 3
Profile Version: 44
Keychain Supported: Yes

Revision: c3cdeeb

Backup: 1.4.1
Combine notes: 1.2.2
Font Size Shortcut: 1.0.0
Hotfolder: 1.1.1
Joplin DDDot: 0.4.2
Search & Replace: 2.2.0
Spoilers: 1.0.6
Templates: 2.4.0

With these plugins it runs fine.
