Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/1638

Description

The large sized font option is excellent. I would like to suggest a function like "Ctrl" + "+" and "Ctrl" + scrolling then the UI would zoom in including all text, just like obsidian.
https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/discussions/665

Impact

Users who want to adjust the font size to meet their needs

Additional Context

No response

I second this. Just making sure, this would zoom the entire app, not just the editor right?

Supporting zooming in / out the entire app not just the main editor. Thanks for clarifying!

Pressing Ctrl + scrolling should have the same effect

Hello,

The shortcuts should be:

CTRL + / - for windows
CMD + / - For macOS :)

Thanks !

There seems to be a small issue on macOS (M2): German Keyboard layout. I can zoom out, but not in anymore.
Related to PR: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/pull/5300

Found the issue, we use the wrong command for zooming in https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/pull/5300/files#r1623210260

It should be KeyCode.add not KeyCode.equal

Hello,

Sorry but I have an Averty keyboard

Neither CMD + = ( for zoom in ) nor CMD + - ( for zoom out ) works.

I made a small flutter app so we could see what Flutter is interpreting your keystrokes as.

If some of you could please run this app https://dartpad.dev/?id=03d24ac601bc2311e18bc220dc542e17 and then follow this video to record your keystrokes related to zoom, it might shed some light on what is going wrong. Share your results in this thread and I'll be able to take a look 👍

Notice if you want to show what your combined keystrokes is, eg. CTRL + -, you should hold CTRL down before pressing on record followed by your desired secondary key. That is what I do in the last example, where I hold Shift and press on 0, which logically means = on my keyboard.

@Xazin Thanks for sharing that example. It did not work with both keys together to record, because my browser zoomed in.

I also tested it with an English keyboard layout and used Meta left + = and it zoomed in. Sadly on a German Keyboard layout you have the problem that the '=' sign is a combination of Shift + 0 = '='. Therefore it cannot be recognized.

I would recommend adding support to change the keybindings in the settings.

Thanks for sharing, I'll try to squeeze in the change to support changing the keybindings for application-wide hotkeys in the next release 🙏 (Notice, release 0.6.0 and not the one on monday 0.5.9)

Thanks @Xazin, I would also look into, but still have the issue with Architecture problems. Maybe if you have a minute it would be great if you have a minute to read my message in discord :), maybe you have an idea.
