fman

Pane font size

Zoom both file panes in and out with Alt+Up / Alt+Down, and reset to the theme's size.

You can zoom the font of both file panes on the fly, and reset it back to the theme's original size.

Usage

  1. Alt+Up makes the text in both panes larger, Alt+Down makes it smaller. Both panes always change together.
  2. Search "font size" in the command palette for the same two actions, plus Reset font size, which is palette-only.
  3. The chosen size is remembered and survives restarting fman.

This zooms only the two file-list panes. The text viewer and image viewer have their own zoom, which reuses these same shortcuts while a viewer is open.

Commands

Command name Palette label Also found by Default key
increase_pane_font_size Increase font size zoom in, larger pane font, bigger Alt+Up
decrease_pane_font_size Decrease font size zoom out, smaller pane font, smaller Alt+Down
reset_pane_font_size Reset font size default font size, reset zoom none (palette only)

Rebind them like any other command:

{ "keys": ["Ctrl+0"], "command": "reset_pane_font_size" }

Notes

  • Only the two file-list panes are affected. The status bar, location bar, column headers and command palette keep their own font size.
  • It respects a custom theme. If your own Theme.css sets a different base font size, the first zoom press steps from that size. Resetting removes the override completely, so the pane goes back to rendering your theme exactly as authored.
  • The size is clamped between 6pt and 40pt; zooming past either end does nothing further.
  • Go to parent folder is on Ctrl+Up on Windows and Linux. Alt+Up used to do that, and moved to make room for zooming. On Mac it was already Cmd+Up. On every platform it is also still on Backspace.
