Problem
What problem does this solve?
Currently, there is no built-in option to adjust the font size in Qoder or the Qoder plugin for JetBrains IDEs. Users with different screen sizes, resolutions, or visual preferences cannot customize the text size to their comfort level, which can lead to eye strain and reduced productivity.
Solution
How should it work?
Add a font size adjustment setting that allows users to:
- Increase or decrease the font size through a slider or numeric input (e.g., range from 10px to 24px)
- Access this setting via Settings/Preferences menu (e.g., Settings > Qoder > Appearance > Font Size)
- Apply changes in real-time or with a simple “Apply” button
- Optionally support keyboard shortcuts for quick font size adjustment (e.g., Ctrl/Cmd + Plus/Minus)
- Remember the user’s preference across sessions
Use Case
When would you use this?
- Users working on high-resolution displays (4K, Retina) where default text appears too small
- Users with visual impairments who need larger text for better readability
- Developers switching between different monitors (laptop to external display) who need different font sizes
- During presentations or pair programming sessions where larger text improves visibility for multiple viewers
- Users who prefer compact interfaces and want to reduce font size to see more content
Priority
Medium - Important improvement
(This improves accessibility and user experience significantly, though it doesn’t block core functionality)
Additional Info
(Optional: screenshots, examples, links)
Similar implementations in other tools:
- VS Code: Settings > Editor: Font Size
- IntelliJ IDEA: Settings > Editor > Font > Size
- Most modern IDEs support Ctrl/Cmd + Mouse Wheel for zoom
This feature would improve accessibility compliance and user satisfaction across different use cases.
