Display Zoom Rate on Status Bar

zeufparis

Hi Everyone,

Is someone know how to display Zoom rate on the status bar ?
As I am often working with 2 files side-by-side, I change zoom using CTRL+wheel mouse but I never know the zoom %.
Thank you

afaik, there is no buitlin feature but you could use python script plugin and a
script like Scotts one to achieve what you want

Cheers

Install Python Script plugin from here.
Once installed, goto

Plugins->Python Script-New Script

and create a script called

startup.py

and copy the following content into the newly created document.

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

def StatusbarSelOverride(args):
    _length = "{0:n}".format(editor.getTextLength())
    _lines = "{0:n}".format(editor.getLineCount())
    _zoom = editor.getZoom()
    notepad.setStatusBar(STATUSBARSECTION.DOCSIZE, 'length:{}  lines:{}  zoom:{}'.format(_length, _lines, _zoom))

editor.callback(StatusbarSelOverride, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.UPDATEUI, SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.ZOOM])  # register callback

Save it. (DO NOT reformat code - python is strict about indention)
Goto Plugins->Python Script->Configuration and
change Initialisation from Lazy to ATSTARTUP
press ok
Restart npp

Cheers
