@garrett-carey said in Question(s):
Also is there a setting in notepad++ to change default zoom?
@Jonathan-Johansen replied with,
Your current zoom level is restored between sessions, so it is the default zoom level.
I was dubious about that reply, but was able to confirm it. Since I’ve always used zoom as a temporary thing (and Ctrl+Num/ to reset), I don’t remember ever noticing that the zoom is actually saved in the preferences (config.xml > GUIConfig name="ScintillaPrimaryView" > Attributes zoom and zoom2 – which is kindof funny that there are two, since N++ forces both zooms to be the same, so if I exit with two views visible, externally edit config.xml to set zoom="0" zoom2="60" and open again, both views will be at full zoom; however, if I exit with only primary view visible, set zoom="0" zoom2="60" and open again, it will open no zoom (ie, 100%); ooh, fun, I can confuse it: if I had 0/60 when I loaded with one View, then open or clone a file into the other View to get it to show both, then it will use different zoom sizes that run; if I exit and rerun in that condition, it will use the 60-zoom for both, and save the config.xml with both zooms at 60 next time.)
But back to @garrett-carey’s question: Setting “default” zoom actually seems unneeded to me. If you really want to start with a different text size as your normal text size, instead of using “Zoom”, why not just change your default font size? Settings > Style Configurator > Language: Global Styles > Style: Default Style and set Font Style > Font Size: ___ to something bigger. This way, 100%-zoom will be relative to the font size you actually want. (Most themes correctly inherit all the indvidual styles’s font-size from the Default Style for that font, so it should, in general, work across normal text and all the languages in your chosen theme.)
