Hi

Thank you for Rightsizer, I have been looking for something like
this. Would it be possible for Rightsizer to recall the ordinary
(Safari) zoom setting? E.g., sites such as CNN do not really work all
that well with Rightsizer's text zoom, but works well with the
ordinary zoom functionality.

Niels,

Rightsizer cannot access Safari's own zoom function, nor can any other extension. However, there is a way you can do essentially the same thing as Safari's built-in zoom in Rightsizer.

First, you have to select the Rightsizer option "Use CSS zoom instead of font size". Then, to zoom a whole web page, type Command-A to select the whole page, and then do the click+A thing as usual.

The main drawback to this trick is, of course, having to enable the CSS zoom option, which means you can't use the font-size method on specific text elements. I will think about adding a special key combination to do the whole-page zoom thing more conveniently.

Niels,

I've made it easier to zoom the whole page. Please try this build:


To zoom the whole page, press W before A or Z. You don't have to enable the CSS zoom option in the settings.

Let me know how it goes.

This was precisely the functionality I was looking for. Thank you!
