How do I change font size for Live Scripts?

The option to change the font size for the new "Live Scripts" is not in preferences where you can change all the other font sizes. On my installation, the Live Script font size is about 8, way too small. Thanks for the help.

Definitely a major issue. I tried using the live editor in my class today and the tiny font made it useless.

While you're at it, why not let us customize everything in the output, say with a style sheet?

[Sarah Palfreyman]

When presenting, "Ctrl Shift +" can help increase the font size.

[Luca Amerio]

I had the same problem. I partially worked-around it using the "Export as PDF" option. It does a pretty well job and the output can be scaled how much you want.

Of course this is just a partial work-around as the PDF is no longer interactive!

Finally figured it out.

On a mac, command+minus. Zoom in is command+plus.

It works:)

This also works for Windows 10 -- though perhaps strictly speaking it's Ctrl + =, since the shift key is not needed to specify + instead of =.

It doesn't work , i want to resize my live editor , do anybody know the shortcut for zoom out in the live editor on a mac an MathlabVersion 2017a

[Dan Mønster]

It depends on your keyboard layout (why, Mathworks?). I have a Mac with a Danish keyboard, but had to switch to US keyboard layout in order to decrease the font size.

An easier option is CMD-scroll which was suggested by Emmanuel Vergara.

You are a life saver.

Hold cmd + shift then use the scroll on your mouse to zoom in and out or slide two fingers on your scroll pad. This works for me on MAC.

Thank You!!

In windows using Matlab 2017b, press control and then scroll up or down with your mouse, it will change the size of everything displayed in the live script.

[LeChat]

Thanks! This also works on Ubuntu 18.04LTS.

[Robin Szeto]

Thanks! It works on 2019a.

[Dhananjay Kumar]

Thanks a lot, worked in MATLAB 2019a

[Ubaldo Armenta]

Thank you so much:)

Alternatively one can change under view

• zoom in (cmd +)
• zoom out (cmd -)

P.S: On a Mac.

Hi

My toolbars on the sides are super tiny and the right hand side toolbar disapears if I zoom in as per the above instructions. Any other ideas on how to make it bigger?
