magnifying glass?

Eve00000 opened this issue · comments

Feature Description

A lot of information is getting in the library, certainly with key-matching, more columns, less space
Would it be possible to have a kind of 'magnifying glass'
If mouse is focused on a field for some time the field is shown in a sort of field-magnifier-overlay?
I tried it with Windows Magnifier and other tools but nothing suitable.

As a workaround, may I suggest mapping keys to the actions for increasing/decreasing font size?

My Custom.kbd.cfg has these lines:

[Library]
font_size_increment Ctrl++
font_size_decrement Ctrl+0

We have already a tooltip feature, that shows the whole value in case the value is cut of.
Maybe we could make the font size adjustable for it.

Would that be a solution?

Hi Daniel,
Indeed, I was playing with the tooltip-settings 'library only' and I searched for the font setting in the code but I didn't find it. Changing the fontsize will have a good effect in the library but on other gui-items with many lines of explanation (like cue/hotcue) it will create a very big overlay.

It was more an idea for a change: Make the tooltip font size separate adjustable. Would that solve your issue?

definitely :-)
