Zoom in rich text editor (desktop app)

Features

Hi everyone,

I’m using Joplin to organize my lesson notes as a teacher. I prepare my lessons’ structure in Joplin and write down assignments and instructions for my students. I then use Joplin on my iPad to “present” the assignments etc to my students on a projector.

In the iPad version, as long as I’m in “view mode”, I can zoom in and out of notes easily, which gives me the opportunity to adjust the size of the instruction text to fill the whole projector image on the whiteboard (making it easier for students to read the tasks).

In the desktop app of Joplin, this zoom feature does not exist. I can zoom in and out via “CTRL + +/-”, but that magnifies or shrinks the whole UI and not only the note itself.

Is it possible to add a “note only” zoom function? Or a “view mode” in which you open only one note’s content with the ability to zoom in on that note’s text only? Currently, when I open a note in a new window and use the zoom function, it also zooms the toolbar and als the Joplin main window in the background.

Or maybe someone has a different idea on how I can present a note’s content in a “zoomable way” on a desktop system (MacOS or Linux)? I would highly appreciate it as I’m in the process of abandoning my iPad and moving to a Linux PC for work.

Cheers
Martin

On my Fedora and Windows boxes I can hit F10 (toggles the notebook list) and F11 (toggles the note list) and hide everything except the note. Then the Ctrl-plus/Ctrl-minus can zoom/shrink the note. I don’t know if this works with the RTE but you could try it.

Also CTRL +SHIFT+M toggles the menu bar at the top. So that combined with F10 & F11, as suggested by @HarSel, removes quite a lot of the interface apart from the note body.

Thanks, I haven’t thought of that (hiding most of the UI), will give it a try!
