Thread: How to unzoom the window
Hi all,
I’m running 4.29-nwjs on MacOS. I accidentally zoomed the window way up and could not figure out how to zoom it back down. I checked the documentation for shortcut keys () but did not see anything there. I ended up closing and re-opening the program. What’s the sequence for unzooming?
Jack
Hi Jack,
Not sure how you zoomed the window, because the feature is available from v5.1. Please update to 5.1.

Also, v4.29 is not with NWjs. We have introduced NWjs from v5.0.

Jack was running the 4.29 based test build we did.
I agree that upgrading is the best option though - there was no zoom in < 5.1, so I have no idea what’s happened here.

It seems obvious to me. PgAdmin4 v4.x runs in a regular web browser for its user interface right? Well web browsers have native generic zoom in/out functionality, typically for magnifying the text on any page to make it more readability. So I would think that is what was triggered. On MacOS browsers for example, CMD+plus and CMD-minus zoom in/out in web browsers, and this affects all web apps in the web browsers. -- Darren Duncan

It seems obvious to me. PgAdmin4 v4.x runs in a regular web browser for its
user interface right? Well web browsers have native generic zoom in/out
functionality, typically for magnifying the text on any page to make it more
readability. So I would think that is what was triggered. On MacOS browsers

Jack is running '4.29-nwjs', which was a pre-5.0 test build of the nwjs based user interface. It does not use a browser, nor does it have zoom functionality (unless there are some previously unknown and undocumented hotkeys in nwjs). Zoom for the primary window was added in 5.1, and will be improved further in 5.2 to support child windows (unfortunately that code turned out to be kinda tricky to implement, and didn't make it in time for the 5.1 release).

Since the original message was about MacOS, I know as a Mac user that there are a bunch of things that implicitly work in many places one might not expect them to. For example, if a regular non-editable status or error message or dialog box appears on the screen and there are no corresponding menu options, I can still use my mouse to click-drag and highlight text in the displayed message and CMD-C will copy it and I can paste it in another program. I did this just the other day while documenting a program. Similarly, perhaps certain zoom-related things are just built-in to certain MacOS UI elements so if pgAdmin is implemented in terms of those then zooming may work to an extent just because its built-in to the OS. For that matter, in MacOS System Preferences, there are a number of universal options available for assisting people with disabilities, including general UI zooming things, and perhaps one of those was triggered somehow? I'm just guessing here. -- Darren Duncan

That's certainly a possibility.

Thank you all for the answers. Dave is right that I’m running the experimental nwjs version. Darren is right that Cmd-Plus and Cmd-Minus will zoom the browser on MacOS, and while I didnt’ do that, there is perhaps another native MacOS capability at work here. I used to get the same issue with pdAdmin III, where suddenly the font size in the result grid would incrementally increase to a very large size. It was some combination of the modifier keys (Cmd, Option, Control, …) and scrolling on the touchpad (I think maybe Cmd-Option + scrolling, but I’m not sure). It was NOT any browser-based zoom (I just verified that that does not work in the my pgAdmin4). And (to me this is the definitive statement), it was a continuous incremental increase in zoom, as though I was increasing the magnification on the screen.
However, I’m not able to reproduce it, so I’m not sure how it happened. I was hoping that someone with MacOS knowledge, like you Duncan, might know the magic combination so that if it happens again I won’t have to abandon my session.
Anyway, thanks for your input, guys.
Jack
