Dyalog Forums

Hello,

How to change default session/editor/tracer font size? I want it to be 15, but I don't want to click the toolbar each time I run a session.

P.S. I run APL under Windows OS.

Thank you in advance,

OSRK

I can't find any key containing the string "font" in the registry entries for Dyalog so can only assume it's saved in the session file. I believe the recommendation is to save the file under another name than the default.

So: make changes to the sassion as desired then go into Session - Save As... and name it for yourself. If you do change the name go into Options - Configure - Session and change the name in Session-file accordingly.

There might be a better way

I've also checked registry keys. :)

A colleague of mine have suggested this:

      (2⊃#.⎕SE.FontObj)←15

And it works. :) The only little cosmetic issue is that font size in toolbar is not updated. But it doesn't matter for me. :)

Doesn't it need doing each session though?

I requested making font size easier to change years ago along with the toolbar. In virtually all windows applications that I use all I have to is hold ctrl down and roll the mouse scroll bar up or down to change the font size. Please make it so font and toolbar change at the same rate and the toolbar wraps if necessary. While you are at it allow a click on a toolbar symbol to copy the symbol to the session and if you right-click on a symbol show the help for that symbol. Currently, it is very difficult to click quick enough to get it to copy instead of showing the help. thanks.

Yes. But I have a DCF that is run each time I start a session. I've just added it there.
